looking for cheap video card upgrade

[IceCube]

I'm looking to upgrade my video card today on my 3 year old computer

Current Specs:

AMD XP 1800
Asus a7v333
256md ddr 333
Radeon 7500 128mb


I'm just looking for a cheap video card at around $50-$70 cdn (~$40-$57 US)

Right now I have narrowed it down to three:

-Sapphire Radeon 9600SE 128MB DDR AGP 8X w/DVI,TV-Out (Lite Retail)--$65 cdn/$53 US

-XFX GeForce FX 5200 128MB DDR AGP w/TV-Out (Retail Box)--$57 cdn/$46 US

-PNY GeForce4 Ti 4200 / 64MB / AGP 8X / VGA / DVI / TV Out / OEM Video Card--$53 cdn/$ 43 US(requires $15 dollar mail in rebate)

I know these cards are probably not very good, but I have a tight budget and my system is already 3 years old.

Please choose one of these cards and/or recommend another card at about the same price range.

Thanks a lot!

Stay away from the se cards and Lite cards, you wont be happy.
If you could get yourself up around $100+, a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT 128M Retail $128.00 would be a great card, and will run Battlefield 2 no problem.

Sapphire Radeon 9000 128MB DDR OEM
Specification $91.00 is also a great card that will run BF2

The Radion 7500 is a great card, the ones you are listing may not be up to its level or not above it
