AGP $100 vid card recommendations?

[Techbear]

I've got a P4 3ghz, a gig of 400mhz ram, and an agp 4/8 mobo.

I'm running an old GeForce 4 Ti 4200.

I've got (about) a hundred dollars I want to spend on a vid card, and (please don't laugh) I'd like to play Oblivion with it.

Any helpful suggestions on what card I should buy?

Thanks!

I'd reccommend a Geforce 6600gt or an ATI X800GTO for your $100 budget. They'll both run Oblivion at 1024x768res pretty well.

6600gt
X800GTO

I'd perhaps go with the X800gto, I've heard they're pretty good overclockers

Yup, get the x800. You can easily softmod it to a 850 and get a lot more power. Don't forget to install the Omegadrivers because they are specialy modded for Oblivion (if the 6.4 omega isnt out yet then just get the original ati 6.4 drivers.)

didn't he ask for an AGP video card?
the GF 6600gt and the x800gto are PCI-E

They can be found in both AGP and PCIe.

6600gt AGP
x800GTO AGP

AGP versions do cost more though.

ok here is a card that is in your budget that will run your games. not the greatest card in the world but works well and on the ati front if you want to keep it at or under 100 bucks here you go. both will play oblivion. and both are actually in your budget. for some reason people seem to think 40 bucks is unimportant. but i understand if your budget is 100 then that is all you have.
