so anything above $299? The best thing out there is the 8800 Ultra but the 8800gt, which is about 279, is very close to that amount of power.

Google CPUZ, and use that to find out what your motherboard is. You must know this, so we can determine what graphic interface it uses, if it's AGP, PCI-E, or PCI.

Oh!!! then you want a 8800gt. As long as your port is a PCI-E 16x port (which they do), it will work.

The 8800gt may be a bit faster, but for only $229 USD, you can get the new ATI 3870, or to be precise... the "Diamond Viper Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDMI HDTV Out Video Card" http://www.ncixus.com/products/26983/3870PE4512SB/Diamond/
