looking for a new video card

[BobbyWhiskey]

school is over and im gonna start working, so i can afford another videocard and stop using this damn integrated card
I'm looking for a card between 150-200 Can$
and i would like to have dual monitors.
what do you think i could get?
ps: i can get a X600 for 180$~ is that a good video card ?

X600 isn't great, a 6600 (GT or non-GT) is better, an AGP 6600 runs from ~$170-$210CAD with the GTs coming around $250 http://www.ncix.com/products/index....6128DP&manufacture=GIGA-BYTE TECHNOLOGY CO.,L

do you think ill be able to play new games like HF2 with good graphics?
and what card do you think ill be better for some more cash?

A good reasonable priced card is the nVidia Geforce 6600 256mb which is about £100. Good for HL2 etc.
Try www.ebuyer.co.uk

 

[Cromewell]

yes, a 6600 will handle HL2 well, as well as other games

The X600 for all intents and purposes is a remarked Radeon9600
