I used a 9250 for a bit and it ran GW fine.

I'd second the 6200 PCI. Probably the best deal you'll be able to get anymore.

This X1300 might be better, but it costs more, and not sure if 120$ is worth it for a PCI card:

fx5500 > 6200, and with that budget, I don't think you really care about not having shader model 3.0 features

horseman is wrong. Any reason why you are playing guild wars on a computer with no agp or pci-e slot? what are the rest of the specs, the video card may not be the only problem :lol

considering there have been problems with the 5 series cards and people going to the 6 series have reported big gains i think you are wrong.

lots of reasons they may be stuck with a pci pc including it does what it needs to do so why buy something new just for a game?

since they are upgrading the video card it makes sense that the rest meets the minimum required or they wouldnt bother
