Can you list the rest of your specs and what games you hope to have 100fps in exactly? Also what resolution is your 23" monitor?

100fps on counter strike and source shouldn't be a problem with a Geforce 8800 GTX. Those are pretty cheap these days at newegg.com. If you want room to grow, the Geforce GTX 275 or Radeon HD4770 are the budget cards of this generation.

you need to make sure you have a PCIe slot in your computer to put a new card in. if you only have an AGP slot your options are limited. it would suck to buy a card like that and find out you can't put it in the computer. i've got this card and it works GREAT:

Newegg.com - PNY VCG98GTXPXPB GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

i can run everything but crysis at max settings smoothly on my dual core 2.6 ghz w/ 4 gb of ram

Hey, I still have a system, which I need to finish building that has an AGP slot. Though no 56k or CRT monitors anymore; now if only I could find that 1MB hard drive.
