    Default Graphics Cards

    After receiving a new Microsoft Windows Vista PC, I have realized that it's Video/Graphics card is incapable of correctly dealing with Medieval 2: Total War. So, does anyone have any suggestions on a graphics card I could get?

    I've heard of GeForce and Radeon, but not sure if one is better then the other, or if there's another in there I should look into.

    Also just for fun I'm looking for a random name generator (Like the one on World of Warcraft) and a Random program, that randomly chooses numbers or names or anything else I tell it to choose from.

    Thanks guys for the help, in advance!

    If you have the money, get the GeForce 8800 series. It's well worth it.

    Haha, a website I'm on says that's $479. Let's get down around $100.

    Nvidia 7600 GT BFG SLi series. Fantastic card. I bought it for 150USD two years ago. It might be 100USD now. If you are strapped for cash, a 6600 MIGHT work, but the card is slipping into the modern realm of middle-low, so I would go with the 7600.
    Requesting suggestions for new sig.

    I take it you're American, so here's one from Newegg:

    My location says Texas, so yes, I'm American.

    The one CrossLOPER said is still 150 dollars. I've been given a budget of around 100... so, dang it.

    It's probably worth saving up for a better one, in that case, but maybe someone else has a recommendation.
