Which video card(I need at least 256mb) is the best and how do I know which one I need?

I have a Compaq Presario/Version 2002/Windows XP/2.08ghz/704mb of ram/49gb of free space

Update:

AMD Athlon (tm) xp 2800+

Update 2:

It is for internet gaming which require 256mb video cards. Yes my computer is really slow and shut down alot while trying to play these games. My computer does meet all of the other requirements for these games except for the video card.

    Without the exact Model Number and going by the year then you are looking at Agp graphics cards.

    Here's 2 to get you started as I don't know what you will be using them for they might be overkill

    GeForce 6800GT 512MB GDDR2, AGP 8x, 1xDVI, 1xVGA

    Radeon HD 3850 512MB GDDR3, AGP,DVI/VGA, HDCP, HDMI

    I dunno why you would need a 256mb vid card in your rig. Your cpu is pretty slow and you have hardly any ram. Any game requiring 256 mb of video memory would run super slow on your computer.
