I posted this question on the peripherals forum a while ago but didn't receive a response so I'm hoping some gamers can help me out.

I just bought a 24" monitor and while my video card can run the 1920 x 1200 resolution, it's maxed out. I don't know the exact ATI card that came with my dual 1.8 G5 (if anybody knows, please tell me) but it has a whopping 64mb of RAM on it.

I game occasionally and when I do, I'd like higher frame rates than I'm getting now. The only refresh rate my card offers is 60.

So where is the best place to buy a new video card? Any hot deals out there?

Thanks!

I've had good experiences with Other World Computing. They've got most of the current ATI crop of cards, from the Radeon 9800 to the X850 stuff. Quick shipping and good service.
