Computer:
Operating System Windows XP Home

The ATI X1950 Pro AGP is right for you:

Cheaper but less exciting option is the Geforce 7600GS AGP.

are you wanting to use it for games? tv? just emails? the best cards are Nvidea depending on your pc (not dell nor hp/compaq) your power supply might need to be beefed up if your board supports the newer better PCI EX x16 you should consider 8800 GTX orGX2, a 260 or 280 or 295 these will range in price from 300-750 CND if you bought a good after market board you may be able to go SLI and really enjoy your gaming / movie watching experience...

I use gigabyte mb too. and I use GeForce 7800GS, since I couldn't afford to change the whole system to PCIe or whatever damnd thing.
It was around NZ$450 a year ago.
