Looking for a vid-card

A coworker has three kids, less than 10 years old, and just bought Activision's Spiderman for PC. Recommends at 16MB 3D vid card (or better), and his three-year old system doesn't currently do 3D. Clearly he really doesn't need ATI's latest and greatest, and he doesn't want to drop half of his wallet, but I don't want to recommend garbage to him either. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. The reps at Best Buy generally have no idea what they're doing, but if you know what you want, you can sometimes get a break there.

Hmmm...maybe I should replace my old GeForce2 with an upgrade, then give my coworker my old card...

I don't think he's going to spend $80 or more so he can play a $10 game. But I'll check that site. Thanks again!

I had a GeoForce MX2 myself. You can always get yourself a new one and sell him your old one for dirt cheap. You can also find lots and lots of low end hardware out there, if you look.
