Onto cards. Thins right now are really weird in video card world. The 8000 and 9000 series have all but disapeared. I had a hard time finding a decent 25-50 dollar range card online these days. You go to newegg and other sites and you will find there are these crap 8000 and 9000 cards with low bit rates, (64 bit is NOT good regardless of any other stats). I personally never get any video card used but that could be your best bet for a good card for cheap. What you might wanna think about is system total wattage. If you on intergrated, i'm asumming you bought a prebuilt computer which are infamous for the lowest power supply out there to make the system run. There is alot of things to consider.

If anything you might wanna just start saving and build yourself another computer in the 400-500 price range. If not and if you have time, wait for prices to drop on cards. Right now, ati and nvidia have been slowing increasing the price of there cards for who knows why. For instance, I got my gts 250 now 5 months ago for 85 dollars. These cards have slowly jumped up to the 120-140 range. Ati has slowly been killing off there 4000 series and increasing prices also. There new cards are nice but if you on budget, avoid the 5600 card unless you struggling on computer wattage. In the end alot of things to consider and think about.
