Video card suggestion???

Can anyone suggest a good video card replacement. Mine had died and I am in need of a replacement. I am not a gamer, but do photo editing. Prefer to stay under $100.00 in price. I am replacing my nvidia geforce 6600 video card.Thank you so much in advance.

It looks like you have PCI-Express video slot. This is a good thing! In my opinion, the best bang-for-the-buck card available right now is the nVidia 9600GT. There are numerous factory overclocked configurations available, and most are under $100.00. Here's a bunch at Newegg:

Some of them have been re-worked to where they do not need to be plugged in to the power supply, so you should be OK if you have a good 350-400w unit. If you have a 450w or better, you'll be OK regardless.... I bought one last year when they first came out and it rocked! It was a great freakin' card!!! Now that they're about half of what I spent last Feb, they're totally an excellent deal. Nothing comes close IMHO.

(BTW- I upgraded to GTX260 c216 - and it freakin' ROCKS!!! but they're around $150-$200 and will require a power supply upgrade to a quality 550-600w unit minimum)
