Currently I have:
128MB ATI Radeon 9250 Xtasy Series
Could someone please recommend a better GeForce card (I'd like on that supports the newer shader versions; I've got a budget of about $100 dollars)? (I've been looking at the BFG GeForce OC 5500.)
Thanks!
Edit: also, it needs to be AGP 8x.

If it starts with "GeForce" and the number is > 5000 and < 6000 STAY THE FREAKING HELL AWAY!
If you want a good budget card that cna do SM2.0, I'd strongly recommend going with ATi, as nVidia severely botched the 5x00 line of cards. 9600 Pros are fairly cheap, with power comparable to a GeForce 4. IF you're feeling a bit richer though, I'd suggest going with an 9800Prot or XT.
