What Video/Grafics Card do I need?

[TylerDuelist84]

I want to be able to play Guild Wars and Fable: The Lost Chapters without any problems, or at least as few as possible. My PC has a 1.80 Celeron Processor and can only take PCI (not PCI-Express/AGP). Also, it must have at least these specs/features: 256 MB, 128-Bit, S-Video Output. My price range is $100.00-$150.00.

I believe the best video cards for PCI are GForce 5700 LE and GForce FX 5500. You can get them with 256 MB RAM and should be within your price range. Just make sure you get the 128-bit graphics, and not 64.

Pci 6200 nvidia card.
It's the best pci card that I know of, it used to be the 5700le until they made this one, it's also pretty cheap.
Still not a powerhouse, but it should be decent.

Does that 6200 come in 128-bit?

I don't know if that 6200 is 64 or 128bit, it doesn't say.
It says "64-bit floating point texture filtering and blending"

But that's not the same thing as the memory interface.
It has a 350mhz core clock though, I think normal is 300mhz.
