My friend is building a computer, and the system is 3000+ amd, GA-K8n gigabyte mobo, 160gb sata, and a x300 vid card, and he has a few extra bucks to spend. i am suggesting an upgrade on vid card, considering its his weakest component. so, find me the best video card ON NEWEGG that is between $70-$100. it can be OEM, not refurbed. thanks.
 
PCI express 16x, and it would be nice if it was 128MB cuz i hear they aer faster. as you can see, im not an expert in the area of graphics cards, so im asking you :)
 
Either the Geforce 6200 or the Radeon X300, I would go with the 6200 because I've heard you can unlock some of the pipelines.
 
the only reason to get a 128mb over a 256mb is if your getting an older card, where the memory makes it run a little slower, but for high-end cards, you want at least 256mb. For your price range you can have either a 128 or 256, they would both work good. (And just a note, not everything in a video card is about speed). But since your getting PCI Express, i would reccommend either the x550 or x600.

you can get a much better card then the x300 for the $70-$100 range, and the X300 and 6200 are fairly crappy cards. I would go with the x550 or x600.
