    PCI? AGP? PCI-E?

    ATI and Gforce are the two largest gfx card companies...

    they are all crap don't bother with them.

    get a geforce 5500 or a radeon 9250 if you're stuck on standard old PCI

    *cough*fanboy*cough*

    btw, ATI is better for higher resolutions when you compare two equal cards.

    ATI make really good cards but the drivers are rubish.
    I have an ATI card but for my next computer i am going with Nvidia as it gives me the option to expand in SLi a more tried and tested method than corssfire, only way i will go back to ATI if they bring something out that blows Nvidia out the water.

    As for the cards you mentioned i can't really help you would need to give us model numbers like ATI x800 Nvidia 7800GTX and what not.

    CF > SLI but still, both are pointless unless you have plenty of money to waste..

    but for original poster, your better off saving money as those all suck...50 dollars gets you an fx5500..

    Yep, I would go with gforce. It's the best quality and it's by far the most popular.

    For The Record:

    ATi = nVidia O/A

    ATi > nVidia for Crossfire v. SLi and High Res.

    ATi < nVidia on OC but not enough to really matter.

    As for two cards, if you go with high end (most people do if you are going to SLi or CF anyways) there is really no point unless you are running something insane on a High Res setting (Pretty unlikely on your budget, no offence and even though I don't know you budget). The difference between 250 FPS and 400 FPS is like trying to determine how many hairs you got on your head as aposed to the next guy. To see the difference you would have to have INSANE eye sight. Also, if you where going on memory, it's not really worth it, you are not making X-Men or some other insane graphical movie for a big producing company. So, just stick with a top line card and don't worry about dual-carding it. Also, try not to be a fanboy and think about the facts. ;)
