Apparently my video card in not well-suited for SL as it recommends either nVidia GeForce 2+ or ATI Radeon 8500+. Can anyone advise me as to what video card model is the best performing with SL for the price? I don't do much in the heavy-duty gaming on the web, but SL looks interesting and I would like to try it.

My PC is a Dell Dimension 4500 w/a gig of RAM and currently has a Rage 128 video card apparently.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Nvidia GeForce 6600GT cards offer good price/performance ratio - be sure to get the AGP version.

However, you might need to upgrade your power supply as well, modern gfx cards are power hungry. At least 350W is recommended.
