Know anything about graphics cards?

I got "black %26amp; white 2" for my PC but it says I need a graphics card with Pixel Shader 2.0 or higher. I have a Dell Dimension Desktop 4550. Do you know the cheapest graphics card I can get that has Pixel Shader 2.0 and fits in my Dell?

almost all the newer card support pixel shader 2.0 follow the link to newegg and search for 1 in your price range. you computer uses a 4xAGP slot so make sure the card you get fits in that catagory. Also i recomend getting a Nvidia chipset.

Note: DirectX 9 supported cards will work with Pixel Shader 2.0

Note: Also make sure your drivers on your current video card are up to date. That might help fix the problem.

OK last note i pulled this from Black and white 2 web site:

You computer takes an APG-8 card. If you did not upgrade your video card you have a 64MB GeForce4 MX 420 card in it. There is a problem with NVIDIA and Pixel Shader 2.0. Try new DirectX and drivers before you jump to a new video card.

Pixel Shader 2.0 is part of DirectX 9.0. Download the latest version of DirectX 9.0C from Microsoft. Be sure to get the latest drivers from NVIDIA. I checked the dell site for updated to your video card and nothing is newer than 2003.
