I need a graphics card. I need suggestions!?

My original computer that i built online got backordered way too many times so we went to the store and bought an ok computer, 640gb hard drive, 6 gb ram, dual core processor, but a terrible low end graphics card. I dont want to spend much at all but i want to be able to run good games like MW2, things like that, and to decrease lag in other online games.

Update:

thats too far out of budget... its ike 150 bucks

    You don't say enough abot what kind of system you have.

    "6 gb ram, dual core processor"

    Dual core as in Core Duo? Core 2 Duo? DDR 2 or 3?

    what card? Also, you say nothing about your PSU - unless it's above 400 watts, your chances of getting a card that isn't low end isn't great.

    "i want to be able to run good games like MW2, things like that"

    have you tried running those games on your system? what happened?

    "...to decrease lag in other online games."

    that may have more to do with your internet usage than your computer's specs.

    ATI Radeon 4850. 1gb, its a beast, best bang for the buck by far.
