I am currently running two boxes to play EQ one is a laptop (My primary) and I am stuck with the effects of a Radon 7500 and no target rings so on.... The second machine is a desktop which is moderate with 1gig ram and home built... the graphics card S**** well is really bad (Radon Fury) so it is time to upgarde with a limited budget.... is there a card which will give me good effects (Target rings and so on) that I can get under 100 bucks.... Waiting to hear and thanks for all the great UI's you provide. Rawwar 55 Beasty Lanys T'Yvl and others.......

You'll get better performance out of a GeForce 4 card. I would suggest getting a 5600 or up card. Or even better yet get a Radeon card. Right now they are generally faster and cheaper. I just bought 9600XT myself, and it looks like they have resolved a lot of their driver problems I kept hearing about, because everything for me has been running as smooth a silk. And this is coming from someone who'd swore he'd never get an ATi card. Newegg.com is great, I recommend it. If you can find cheaper prices for quality, name brand stuff, the service is worth any extra buck you might pay. Generally tho newegg.com has low, low prices. __________________ :: a e r a s i n ::
