I am looking to get a new graphics card, i need one which will last quite a long time before the games begin to test it. Any ideas?

If money is no object: Geforce 4 ti4600.
That'll last a long time, tons of raw speed and loadsa tweaks.

If on budget: Geforce 4 MX 400
Plenty of raw speed still, but not too many features. This means that all your games will run fine but won't have quite the depth of graphical finery.

Anything that is GeForce 3 or greater is a worthwhile investment (though you mighht want to steer clear of the "sparkle" versions, as they are dubiously inexpensive. I usually go Creative. A quality brand I have trusted for years.

I'd love to get a new graphics card, playing all my games with the maximum detail turned right up. I'm stuck with a GeForce 2 however, because my motherboard only had PCI slots and these new 3D cards need AGP slots. The only way I can solve this is by getting a new motherboard, which is going to be a biatch to fit. Still be worth it though.

That ain't exactly true, but it might as well be!
