and the 4200 is an IGP if not mistaken, but Helmraking u could look for a 5770 for example, those aren't that expensive and are quite decent cards. I don't know about Nvidia Prices, mainly since I'm a AMD user Smile

The cheapest cards I would recommend are certainly a big step-up from what you're working with. They should handle most PS2 emulation at native res.

GeForce GT 430 - $58
Radeon HD 6570 - $65

These cards are roughly equivalent between nVidia and AMD. In case you have a preference on brand. Smile

The next step(s) up are about equal of that HD 5770 StriFe79 mentioned. They have a higher data rate (GDDR5).

GeForce GT 440 - $83
Radeon HD 6670 - $90

Again, choice of nVidia or AMD.
By the way-- These are the lowest prices I see on Newegg.
nVidia is looking the most budget friendly.

Another option I'll point out to you is a recertified GPU. If you're looking to spend as little as possible, while having exceptional power (almost as good as the GT 440 and HD 6670), you may want to consider this (if still available).

GeForce GT 240 - $55
