Budget help!

[InsaneLunatic]

I need a low budge card for an older p4 system. I've been out of the loop for the past couple of years and would appreciate any help.

Looking at:

- $53 - Sapphire ATI RADEON X800 512MB

- $50 - Sapphire ATI Radeon X1650 Pro 512MB

- $72 - Sapphire ATI RADEON HD 2600 PRO 512MB

- $73 - Sapphire ATI RADEON HD 3650 512MB

I'm looking for a low power card for general computing, home theater and games like Sims2.

I was not able to find that much info on the 3650, but for the price it seams to be the right choice.

Any sugestions?

Thanks!

I think ATI GPu will be the best solution for you they are very cheap and good

and maybe you should look for GF 8600 series as they are cheap aswell and have good performance or 8800 gs

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that prices were Canadian.

I think I will go with the 3650, mostly because it is the newest card there.
