My decision would be either the radeon 7000 or the geforce2 mx200. i think both of these cards are good for zelda... but why pci? your computer have a built in video card in the mobo?

Don't go with the TNT2, they aren't worth it. You can get better for the same price.

Me too. Well, I'm not using it right now since i am using my geforce2 mx400. Trust me, once you get a new card, it is going to make you real happy.

Thats why I hate integrated motherboards. Yup, if at all possible you should buy a Dell. They have some integration, but the dont integrate their video cards so you can replace it with another AGP card. Everthing else that is integrated can be turned off and use PCI slots.

EDIT: Of course, you should always custom build your PC if you can, but Dell is the next best.
