Hi,
I've decided to upgrade from my integrated Geforce 6150 to a better video card. I don't want to spend too much, so my price range would lie around the 2400, 2600, 1650, 8500, 8600 range. I used to have an MSI ATI Radeon X1650 Pro and was quite happy with it. I can get one of them for around $120. Here is a link to the site I am most likely to buy the video card from as it is in Australia and reasonably local: http://umart.net.au/au/index.php?cPath=91_353&osCsid=f8302f7addbaa2436a2db4228078c119
There is an 8600GT on that site for only $130 but It was a low end brand and i'm not sure what it would be like.
Things I need to know:
-Nvidia or ATI
-8000 series, X1600 series or X2000 series
-What Brand? (Inno3d, MSI, ExpertVision etc..)
I won't be doing any over clocking and I want something that is reliable above all.
Thanks,
From Josh
