I've been looking for a video card that could have my comp run most computer games, like Oblivion. I'm looking for one that's less than $100, and I would like to know if this could help me run most pc games.

Doesn't anyone know about this stuff? Or should I go to some computer forums and ask them? :P

I'm just guessing, but probably not at a decent speed or graphics. I recommend getting an GeForce 8800 GTS or two GeForce 8600 GTS's. It should be able to run most games at a decent speed with good graphics setting.

That's me. :D ^

Thanks. They look too expensive for me, but I could always get it for Christmas.

I found an excellent video card that could run me all the games I want, but it costs $289.99. :( I guess I should try and save up. Oh, and I have another question. How would I install the video card? Do I open up the computer and put it in there or what? I just checked my pc, and I don't see where it could go in. ????

Make sure you have the righht slots.
I'm guessing you're looking at a PCI-express graphics card.
Google "PCI-E slots" and compare to the inside of your computer.
If you don't have the right slots, you won't be able to use it.

Most PC games? It'll run Oblivion, but it isn't going to run something like Bioshock or Crysis.
