What kind should I get?

i'm planning on getting a new graphics card for my eMachine t3256. My money limit is $150. I need an AGP and prefer GeForce. I also have a 350W PSU. I wanted your opinion on what I should get. I want the best for my limits. And if it ends up that an ATI would be better go ahead and tell me beacause I am in need of a new graphics card. Thanks!

6600GT is probably your best bet.

Staples won't have it, but Office Depot should. I went to 7 stores looking for that card, and only office depot had it. Compusa, Frys, Office Max, Staples, Costco, and several generic stores, but only Office Depot actually had it in stock. They are really hard to find. If you have time, I suggest ordering from Newegg, but if you don't, look up an office depot near you, call them, and see if they have it. Good Luck!

Do you think there might be an ATI that's a little better? because I forgot to say I wanted a 256 MB.

System specs
Sapphire X1600PRO 256MB $140
ASUS Geforce 6600 256MB $125


I'd still go with the 6600GT myself.

I agree, for the money, the 6600GT is the best card. I have it. I love it. Nvidia Rules!
