Like i said ATI is your best bet, though i strongly recommend that you wait. If you could save some money over time and buy a card that would last for another couple of years is better than buying one now and regretting later.

The probability of having the funds to purchase another card that will last several years are rapidly fading. My state's economy has begun a rapid descent, so the chances of finding employment have gone from "impossible" to "I better get used to unemployment because there won't be jobs around here for a decade or more".

I got my current card in November of 2006, but I paid $600 for it. I don't have the ability to raise that kind of money.

You could get a really good one for about 350$ that would last you a good couple of years.

I am happy of the US economy tho because Canada's money is worth the same now and I can buy things for less.

well i would go with a 4870 from ATI 1gb ad least they go for about 100-130 AUD i got my 2 5770's for 200 each so it should be fine for your budget.
