I've heard of newegg before and couldnt remember it. Thanks for the link.
Check Fry's if you have one near you.
I don't know what you want to spend, your system is close to mine and I'm using a ATi Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb and am very pleased with it.
The price has come down quite a bit since I bought it.
1st one $1.69.

I never did business with either so your on your own.

I think Radarman means $169 and not $1.69.

A place that sells things for PCs with the word "Fry" in it seems a bit ominous to me 🙂
