Hey my cusins upgrading his pc..these are the current specs to-date:

amd anthlon xp 2800+
1 gig DDR 400 ram
120 GB hardrive
ATI 128mb 9200SE radieon :laf:

Right now it plays most of the games he plays like cs 1.6 and Source but he wants that extra boost for like Battle Field 2...I told him to upgrade his videocard.. His budget is 100.00 - 200.00

What would be some good AGP videocards...right now we have these picked out..

1. Ati 9800pro 128mb 183.00
2. Asus N6600/TD/256 GeForce 6600 256MB DDR AGP 8X 183.00
3. Sapphire Radeon 9600Pro Advantage 256MB DDR AGP 8X 107.00

Any help would be great!!! :)

I'd get either the 9800 pro or if you bump your budget up a bit (230-250) then the 6600 gt.

Out of those, I would take the 6600. The GT isn't that much more expensive though.
