My birthday is comming soon and I want a new video card (for planetside mainly) but I'm no pro with what all the stuff means. All I know is I want 256mb Vid Ram and it to be >$350. I'm also pretty sure I have AGP slots, my friend tells me PCI express is so new that my comp from 2 years ago probably doesn't have it. Any suggestions?

I'm going to toss this over to the tech board cause the nerds over there might be able to help you out better.

lol i was going to make it here but it said "PC Problems" and it's not really a problem
also there is NO WAY I can afford that one, it costs more than this pc did when I bought it.

well it says on the customer reviews it's not a video card for gaming, any way. I'm going for the 9800pro. It's cheap, powerful (enough), and just what I need.

Eh, 9800 Pro is a good card, it really is, but the problem is that in a year or so it will simply be outdated. I've got one myself, and its just starting to pass its prime. Most modern / recently released games I can run on "High" settings, but not completely maxed out like I used to be able to. Go for a 9800 XT minimum, 6600 GT if you want the best bang for your buck currently, or a 6800 or X800/850 if you don't plan on upgrading for a year or so.
