Hi people,

I have an 2.4 Ghz 512 Kb L2 cache intel processor. 512 MB ddr 266 Mhz RAM. And an Intel 845GBV motherboard.

I wanna buy an graphic card. I asked a local dealer he said i ca get Geforce something for 128 Mb at 2100 Rs. and 256 MB at 4000 Rs. I dont know any great detail abt graphic cards. But i know cards from nvidia and ATI are good. Which card should I buy.

My needs : Wanna play latest games ( if possible with candy effects ON). I wanna play games like DOOM 3, Prince of persia, HL2, NFS 1 & 2. The games should run smoothly. Can I have a resolution of 1280 x 1024 resolution. I have an 17 inch monitor samsung 753s Syncmaster.

My budget : 4000 Rs. max

My need is basic
