        Thanks, Track and Doc. Anybody else care to weigh in?

        Google is good, but people here are the real users and I would like to gauge real opinion. My personal interest aside, with the prices of video cards these days I think it would be good information for a lot of others as well.

          I've been a Nvidia user all my life but recently I bought an ATI x1600XT 256mb and I must say I am satisfied with it. The model lower, x1600 Pro 256mb should be round about in your price range. I live in England, where prices can be very different, so I don't know :P

          http://www.pricegrabber.co.uk/search.php?form_keyword=x1600&mode=g_uk_b_s&skd=1

          What I do suggest is you avoid 512mb graphics cards. At the speeds you'll be getting in this price range, the extra memory will not make any difference. If you see two seemingly identical cards at similar price, but one with 512mb memory, the usual case is it is lower quality memory in order to compensate... be aware of this little trick ;)

          Well, here's a 7600 GS that's priced at $99.99, after a $10 mail-in rebate.  However, it would still be over $100 with shipping costs added.  I don't know the difference between the GT and GS models.

          Edit: Oops, I forgot to insert the link.  Here it is, from tigerdirect.com: EVGA GeForce 7600 GS / 256MB GDDR2 / SLI / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / TV Out / Video Card

            Unless I am mistaken (in which case Track will beat me with a stick ::)) the GS is slower than a GT, but faster than "no" extra letters.
