A few questions Hiredgun....

What is your budget - so we can advise you in the price range of what you are willing to spend (otherwise you just get recommendations to spend 300+ bucks on a card you won't ever use all of).

Second - does the pc you use (since you said it was older) use PCI-e or an AGP slot? You may have to open the box to find out, we can help if your not familiar with that.

Lastly - what is the current rating of your computer power supply. Newer cards often require a bit more OOMPH in this department, so knowing what you have we can tailor the answer to that - or suggest a ps upgrade if needed.
