First tell me what you can spend, and we can work from there. Low cost is a relative...

I would also recommend increasing your RAM to a minimum of 2gb.... If your new video card starts using shared ram, your system is going to really lag... you are already below the minimum as it is...

Maybe an Ati 4750 or an Ati 3XXX series. Should be cheap and shouldn't require too much power.

As seen in your sig... if you have a Pentium 4 @ 2.4 Ghz and AGP motherboard I recommend upgrading that before a graphics card.

That.

There really is no point in spending time looking for an old AGP graphics card. If I were you I'd upgrade to a completely new computer. It'd pay off in the long run especially with windows 7.

AMD ATI HD 4770.

Around $110 if you can find one, in demand so hard too find.

The ATI Radeon HD 4850 is incredibly cheap, non power-consuming, and it can max a lot of games like Crysis, Oblivion, etc. with ease.

Check it out.

I know it won't work with your setup, but it's inspiring enough to want to get a whole new setup! :shock:

I was running a system much like your current one, and if you can swing it, a whole new rig really is the way to go. Throwing more money at the old one just puts you farther from your goal, which is having a computer that can run new games. Sure, a new card might let you run the next few games that come out. On the lowest settings.

Then what? Two months down the road, you're in the same boat you were before, and out a hundred bucks.

Just something to consider. Card wise, I'm running an EGVA Superclocked Edition GeForce GTX 260. That thing is friggin' sweet. Runs every game I've thrown at it so far just fine with max settings (... though the "heaviest" game I've hit it with is Crysis.)
