A friend of moine is running an old asus p5a mb, 512m sdram with a really cheap video card. AM looking for a new card similar in specs to an ati 128. All she uses it for is to surf the web, and play mahjong. her card does this but she recently tried to get into pogo and the video card doesn't have enough oomfff.

Can someone suggest a card along with a reliable source. Preferably under $60. TIA

Easy, just buy either a ATI Radeon 9200 or an Nvidia Geforce FX 5200. Both come with 128MB versions, both are Direct X9 compatible and both will cost under $60.00!!

The Nvidia card is easier to set-up and has less issue/conflicts with modern games while the ATI card is more powerful. It doesn't really matter which card manufacturer you use as essentially their all using the same chipset.

Hope this helps...
