Hey everyone. I'm looking to get back into EQ2 and I need a new video card for my (kinda) new computer. I'd like to keep it around $100.00, $150.00 max. I don't need to have every setting maxed or anything, just something that works well for that price range. I'm guessing an 8800 of some sort, but there are tons of them. Somethin that I could pick up in store would be nice too, I don't trust deliveries to my apt. complex. I can post my dxdiag or something if necessary.

They are all relativly the same and use different naming to try to point out differences, of which, are very slim.
