Hey,

I am looking to replace a failing GeForce 8500 GT in a general family home use pc.  What would be a good card to replace it with?




Regards,

Jess McKenzie

You don't need a $150 graphics card unless you play games. Try this one

If no or just light gaming I would even go with:

which if you prefer not to pay be direct credit can also be had here:
