I haven't been keeping up to time here..

I don't have a very fast processor, in fact it's only 1.10ghz.. I use to have a radeon 9200se.. but I'm looking for something better than that, yet cheap, honestly I don't wanna go over 100 bucks. so I'm sticking to ebay. but does anyone know what I should go for? what would you go for? I want something that can run some good games at a fair performace. enough that I can enjoy them. doesn't need perfect quality. just something I can use with my shitty processor combined to have a decent gaming experience, cause I haven't played a pc game on this computer in about a year.

anyone that can help I appreciate.

oh yeah, and it needs to be PCI. I'm watching the top one. I get paid friday, so I'm just trying to get an idea of what to keep my eye open for.

I'm watching this one too : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

what's the difference between PCI Express and just regular PCI?

yeah it has to be totally different, cause the chipset is totally flipped on PCI Express.

PCI is used for sound cards etc as it is not fast enough for graphics, only very old GFX cards use PCI. then after that is what most people have which is AGP. Now they have made a new type called PCI E or PCI express which is very fast and at the moment quite expensive.

my radeon 9200se is PCI, not Express, but for some reason it just doesn't work anymore.
