Jason, you should get an ATI tattoo.

its not just that its some of these suckas around here advise crap that is years old when you can buy the new stuff for the same price.

Why do they do it?
because they are the real fan boys that dont care about performace or price they just want to hear nvidia come out from there flabby lips.

I was just noting that indeed a 7600 GT should perform well enough.

I am still advising the 8800gs.

ATI makes me hard...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I want to go with Jason's recommendation(above), but I had one last question:

Here is a stats page on my dad's computer :
http://review.zdnet.com/desktops/hp-...85.html?tag=ut

It has an expansion slot section:

( 1 ) x PCI, 1 ( 0 ) x PCI Express x16, 1 ( 0 ) x Processor, 4 Memory - DIMM 240-pin, 1 ( 1 ) x PCI Express x1

Does the 1xPCI Express different than the advertised 2xPCIExpress on the sapphire card you recommended? Will this cause a problem? Can you suggest an alternative card if it is a problem? Thanks, and sorry for not describing the slots in the beginning.

Looks like above card only uses one PCI-E slot, so you should be fine.
