They run about $150. One of those will allow you to play pretty much any video game out there w/ graphics cranked

I'd also recommend you increase your system memory to 1GB... the performance difference is noticeable.
Thanks but I don't want to spend a lot of $$ on this PC. It's just for the kids. Mostly, they use it for surfing the web and IM. They have a few games but most aren't that graphic intensive. I'm looking for the cheapest card that will be able to handle Halo. Assuming that's the reason it won't play at all right now.
