Graphic Card Suggestions?

Question

The specifics of my computer are as such.

Windows XP Home Edition.
Compaq Prescario 061.
AMD Sempron(tm) 3000+ MMX, 3DNow, 2.0Ghz
512MB Total system memory.
3 PSI Bus types, 1 AGP Bus type.

Purposes of the card would be towards non hardcore games on the PC such as Sims 2, which the family enjoys, at decent settings.

I don't want to spend much more then 200 dollars.
But I want a card that's good for it's price, it dosen't have to be the cheapest, but not the most expensive, but in that 200 dollar area, that is very good for graphics.

Answer 1

Get awesome performance with this:

Better increase RAM to 1Gb because that powerful card would bottleneck your current set up. You may have to upgrade power supply to support powerful cards like the x1950 Pro.

Answer 2

Graphics cards in the $150-200 are both abundant and good.

Here you go:

That will sort out your Sims gaming for a good long while. Spend the change from the $200 on extra RAM too ;)
