The likes of ET will run good on even the old Geforce 440MX's. I had one and I played ET on it with 256mb of RAM in my machine. The card itself was a shitty 64mb, so work it out. I now have a FX5200 128mb and I can run Doom 3 on it set on high and at something like 800x600, I think, and I get fairly playable framerates from that. If it's just games like E.T you want to play, then I wouldn't spend more than 40 on a new card. If I were you (like me) I'd wait a bit and then buy either a ATI 9800 or an Nvidia 5900. Both should be fairly cheap soon enough and are well capable of playing any newer games to be released in the future. But PC graphics cards are mad. Why the f**k can't they just make it more simple for people, and cheaper too? Robbing bastards!
