Is this a good card?

NVIDIA Geforce 7300 GT 256MB 16X PCI EXPRESS VIDEO CARD
($72)

I saw that is fared better (most of the time) vs. the ATI Radeon X1300, but then again, those two cards could be in different "leagues". I'm basically looking for a good quality card for a low price (I'll go for anything around $100). And BTW, would this card work with "The Sims 2"? Because I didn't see this on the list of compatible cards, but I could be wrong.

My other choices would be (so far):
NVIDIA Geforce 7300 GT 512MB 16X PCI EXPRESS VIDEO CARD
NVIDIA Geforce 6600 256MB 16X PCI EXPRESS VIDEO CARD

Yeah im sure it will be fine. Yes i would go with the 7300 GT 256 if your only going to be playing games like that.

What about the ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 256MB? It has twice as much parallel pixel pipelines, it is 256-bit instead of 128-bit, and is only $20 more than the 7300 GT. Is it worth it?

You could get a 7600GS for about 100$.

Yup that will be the best suited card for you i guess

7600GS

If not go for the ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 256MB.

if your wanting to go for a radeon get the X1800 or X1900

The 7600GS would be better then both the 7300GT and the x1600PRO, but between the 7300GT and x1600PRO, go with the x1600PRO.

Ya x1600 midrange card compared to the 7300gt which is a low end card. 7600gs would be the best bet.
