I have an Nvidia Geforce GTX 260M and love it. I've also heard some not so nice things about ATI lately.

Note that the second one says "AGP". Nothing he can get will be good for "gaming" (I'm assuming he means playing modern games).

Funny story - I was upgrading my PC (motherboard, CPU, ram) and was upgrading from PCI to PCIe. Needed a new video card, since my old one was an old AGP, so I went on Ebay and found a $50 AUD card. It handles most RECENT games well.

Just do some digging, researching etc to find the best deal - cheap or powerful is the ratio.

Yeah it's all about finding the right price/performance balance. The ATI 4000 and 5000 series are incredibly good in that regard

This.
I have it, and never seemed to have problems with it.
When the stars lose their fine
And night steals the morning away
Forever and a day
I will stay, I will stay here with you my love

AGP is still good and can handle most new games with ease.
