Video Card Suggestions

[Arty]

Hi,
Currently I've been looking for a new video card..

Nothing too expensive.... $70 US Max.. Preferably lower

I don't need a high performance Gaming card.. just something that will run Flight Sim Combat 3.. and other older games. It needs to be a PCI card...Not PCIe or AGP
Prefer that it runs up to Directx9
Cant be more than 512MB memory

I don't care if its nVidia or ATI..

Any Suggestions?
I know I have a pretty low budget here..

Some Cards I've found are:

Well i Had a radeon 9200 and it played flight sims and its a decent card for how cheap it is. and it was pci, So the 9250 could only be way better so probably the 9250 not the 7000. HIS, OR sapphire both are good companys i have a sapphire x1650 agp card right now and it runs flawlessly


EDIT: The Sapphire one will be better. better stats

Thanks

Is the 9200 Cheaper than 9250?

Thanks for the advice, I might go forward with the 9250.. I might do some research on the 9200 first though..

I would still go with the 9250 its still better for pretty cheap.

In your price range, the best you can get is probably a Radeon 9250.

The best PCI video cards are the Radeon x1300 and x1550. However, those ones are almost twice your specified budget.

What is your video card at the moment? Is it on-board integrated? If it is, then you will definitely notice a difference, even when upgrading to a low-end card.

Good luck.
