I need a recommendation for a video card that will run unreal tournament III.?

Years ago I used to play Unreal 2004. Not a hardcore gamer but finally got around to buying Unreal 3. My XP sys has all minimum requirements but needs better video support, minimum Nvidia 6200 or ATI radeon 9600. I would like someone to recommend better than that but not too expensive(i.e. give best bang for the buck), maybe best place to buy if you have one. slots are PCI-e 16x, PCI-e 1x. Processor is single core Celeron 2.6G, but fits minimum specs. 1G ram.

300.00 is more than I want to spend. I am not going to play that many games. I just happen to like Unreal. Something 100.00 or less.

you should consider upgrading your computer as that single core CPU isn't going to hold up to the future of gaming

always go with the "recommended" system requirements
not minimum for best gaming results

for now save your money on that new video card and save up for a new system one made for serious gaming
you won't regret the upgrade and you might find a new game to play in the future
be ready for it

You should first upgrade you processor to a core 2 duo 6600.
The best graphics card on the market right now is the PNY 8800 GTX. It runs to about 300 bucks though. but hey, its worth it. Trust me this card rapes, it smokes crysis like nothing. Watch the video I put in the source. Remember, there are a lot of different 8800 gt cards, you must get the one that says (PNY 8800 GTX)!
