Thread moved to the video card forum.

You can pick up a GeForce 5500 or Radeon 9600 for under $75 these days. Both are more than powerful enough to play games like Sims 2.

^^ I have used this card for over a year, great card w/ lifetime warranty. Plays most games very well and should be fine from Sims 2. A little bit more than $60, but worth it.

Also look into the 9600se, or gf4 mx 400

actually, you shoulda said; stay away from the 9600se, gf4mx's and the fx 5200

Go with the vanilla ATI 9600

Granted both of those suck, with a budget of $60 bucks those fit in. You wont even be able to find a 9600 non-se for under $100.

Best Buy has the BFG GeForce FX 5500 OC 128MB DDR AGP Graphics Card on sale this week for $59.99 after $20 mail-in rebate. It is far from cutting edge technology, but it is a decent card that meets the desired price range.
