Is it worth upgrading from my old intergrated graphics to this card??? I might use it for some gaming, picture viewing, and videos. Will it boost my performance??? Im looking for a price range around $125. Any Suggestions???
Oh, and it would be better if it were Geforce... :)

Here is what I've got so far
ASUS EN8500GTSILENT/HTD/256 GeForce 8500GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail

Well, what games do you intend on playing? Very recent (and demanding) games, or 10 year old games?

If you play new titles, and often buy just-released games, then I would recommend a 8800GTS 320MB card.
 
almost any video card will seriously increase performance over integrated solutions. integrated graphics are generally very slow. unless you really feel you need direct x 10 right now, if you cant afford the 8800GTS, then go for something like the 7800GT. I have the 7950GT and its a great card. the 8500 isnt going to give you that great performance, but it will support dx10
 
Integrated graphics aren't too bad. I remember playing CS:Source quite well on a laptop with integrated graphics 2 years ago.
