9800 Pro is a good card. beats the 4200Ti in in's graphics.
I'm running a 4200Ti. a good friend has the 9800 and the 9800 wins. but the 4200ti if u can find it is still a good card, and will run pretty much
all games at max graphics.
another good card if ur budget is small is the FX5200 which is a bit lower than the 4200, or a FX5600 which is about the same as the 4200.
hope that helps a bit and isn't too confusing.

(I'm talking FX5900 etc..)

Go GF I have used them since riva/tnt days good reliable, just choose your brands and make sure they have good heat sinks and fans....
Also so a forum search some good recent info....

You can take note of this one, lol, Steptoes just a bit senile!!
Cards a preference thing, I have a Gforce 4 in 1 PC and a Radeon in the other, both are mid range cards, and both perform well. Do a google search,
you'll find a lot of info, reviews etc.

is a Intel82810 Graphic card is good or not ? its my default Video card of my cpu

The Intel 810 is an onboard chipset no longer supported by most games, in fact Nova had to bring out a special patch for DFLW, cos the terrain showed
up grey. Even with the latest dirextx and video drivers, games like DFBHD are just not going to load, It wouldn't even install on my old P#733 with
the same graphics card. The unfornunate thing is, most boards with this chipset didn't have an AGP slot, so the only way to get better graphics is to
upgrade the motherboard. The 810 used Ram from the system, it was on demand type setup, the more ram the card wans, it takes from the system, up to
32megs, so if you only hsve 64 megs of ram, running a graphic intese game, your in effect only going to have 32meg left for the system to run. I
upgraded my system. it was a better choice.

re: graphic cards
I don't profess to know a vast amount about this subject, however, the way I feel is, that most people surely know of the
'branded' names on the market, the nvidia's the radeon etc...so if people checking them out, just review the specs of the cards, then review the specs
of card required of the game(s) they want to play, I think for those of us who consider on-line gaming 'just a laugh' and do not take themselves too
seriously anything will do as long as it works !!!....thats my tuppence anyhow.
