Hello friends i hope you can help me out. I just bought a new computer that has a athlon 3800 x2 cpu, 1 gig ram (ill be upgrading to 2g soon), and a wonderful integrated graphics chip :D (thx alot hp!). Note it has a PCI express x16 slot. So i want to buy a graphics card that will be able to play most to all of the games out right now (fear, rainbow six las vegas, etc) and some newer ones in the upcoiming weeks pretty decently. as in medium-high settings with a decent rez like 1280. I dont want to spend too much $ as i plan to throw this card away in about a month as i am going to buy one of those new DX 10 compliant cards. so just something that will hold me over for a month or month.5 .

Here is a 1650pro i found at 102$ and it looks pretty nice.

I also looked at 7600gs and they are at around 100$ aswell with similiar specs. So i was wondering which one you guys think is better. Also if you guys think these cards wont be able to run fear, rainbow six las vegas, stuff like that at medium-high settings (1280 res atleast) then im willing to put out at max another 50$. But remember I will be throwing this card out in 1 month or so anyways so i rather spend as little as i need to :) any help is very appreciated ty for reading my post.

edit: i also found this wierd sale

65$ rebate??? is that real?
 
Yes the rebate is for real... Remember it is the day after christmas and they are trying to reduce inventory that they thought would be gone 2 weeks ago. Just for reference the card I got recently had a 30$ mail in rebate and I just checked yesterday and the rebate is up to 60$, but only if it was bought after 12/22.
