Seems a bit expensive, since you can get one for around $135 on newegg.

I used to have that video card, and it's a really great card for the price. The only complaint i have about it was that it didnt support SM3, so if you run 3DMark06 your going to get a low score.

What CPU do you have anyway?

I can only find this.

But that's AGP and 128 MB.

You'll get somewhere around 4500 in 3DMark05 @ stock clocks.

Ya, it's pretty avarage.

High end - 9,000 - 11,000
Mid-High - 6,000 - 9,000
Mid end - 4,000 - 6,000

You can get around 5000 when OC'ed.

it's an old card, that's why you can't find it on newegg. And newegg doesnt ship to canada.
