Graphics card

[Shadowdawn]

I was given a HP m7580n media center earlier this week and since it has a dual core vs my main comps single core I would like to start playing some games on this. Ideally I want to get it running SWTOR. I know its an old comp but I was thinking with a new graphics card it could at least run the game on lower settings. Unfortunately I am very limited on the amount of money I can spend at this time. I am looking for something in the 40-60 dollar range. The computer was also upgraded to windows vista ultimate 64 last week so the card would need to support that. If anyone could point me to some it would be greatly appreciated. And no it did not come with the remote lol.

Here is a link to the computer.

Check newegg.com. They have plenty of cards under $50 that should work. Here's a link to cards under $50 that fit a PCI Express slot:

Most of the reviews are from non gamers. Any recommendations?

What do you mean? On the cards on newegg.com?
If you're looking at the cards I linked to, that's because they are not gaming cards per se. They are low-end cards, but they do have the ability to play recent games, just on lower graphics settings. Look for one with dedicated video memory, not 'shared', and the higher the GPU number, the better (GeForce 5XX/6XX, Radeon 6XXX, 7XXX). Can't reccomend specifics from those cards as I have no experience with them, but check the overall reviews - get one with at least a solid 4-egg rating with several dozen or better yet, several hundred reviews and you should be fine. You can look here: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ for a list of price and GPU performances or here: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU12/411 to browse benchmarks.
