Need help shopping

[gabo the fearful]

I need help...I am looking for a MUCH better video card for games like Command and Conquer Generals, Warcraft 3, Halo...you know, graphic intense games. I'm not really a hard core gamer, but I like play with smooth graphics. I am also so sick of budget Video cards like the ATI Raedon 9000 and MX series NVIDIA Cards. I want a much better card within the range of $150.00-$200.00 range, preferably a REAL ATI, but if enough people recommend an NVIDIA card, I may take it. Please give me some insight into what to look at when choosing a good video card. I've been eyeing an ATI 9600XT or an ATI 9800pro.

Give me some help. If you do, i'll Smile

You can also get the Built By ATi 9800pro for $199.99 from their website via trade-in offer...
By the way you can trade in ANY video card, so send your dead Forceaon 1800 and grab a 9800pro
