It's older than my 7600GT. You can get a 7600 GT for...super cheap. Probably something like $50 or less. I'd suggest checking around for better deals.

My budget is no more than $100. My current pc has windows xp home 512mb ram 1.6ghz pentium processor. I don't plan on doing much with it but i figured anything would be better than a 32mb video card

If you have a pcie slot, which I do not think you do. Then you could grab a card for under $100, but then you have to see what PSU you got. I highly doubt it would run more than a 7600gt. Maybe you have AGP, which I think the 3650 was the last card to do that from ATI.

Your 9000 card will out perform that 5500... The 5 series from Nvidia was by far their worst card ever & the 9000 series crushed it in performance. If you are talking Quadro FX that is a different story...

3850, not that it would be worth it with the CPU/RAM he is running.

It depends on which 9000 card. ATI didn't take the performance crown back from nVidia until the 9800 was released. That being said, the 5500 does suck though. But TC, are you looking at Wal-Mart? They had FX 5500's for $100 for the longest time. I kept thinking about how bad they were ripping people off...

I've got an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB lying around. I was going to use it with a 2003/2004-era Athlon XP 3200+-based gaming PC, but then I found an eVGA GeForce 6800 Ultra for dirt cheap, which is over twice as powerful and SM 3.0-compliant. (It takes a fairly beefy PSU to power, though, and I don't think the one in your Dell is going to cut it.) This one might even have the R360 core (the one meant for the 9800 XT), but I'm not entirely sure at this point. (The only surefire way to tell is to look at the exposed GPU, and I don't feel like taking off the stock HSF and cleaning off the stock thermal gunk to find out.) Perhaps we can work something out? It would definitely blow away a GeForce FX anything in SM 2.0-using games.
