In the interest of keeping my computer useful for some of the games I already have (oblivion for one) until I can afford the kind of laptop I'm looking for I'm thinking of getting a cheap vid card. It's a PCI-E slot.
Should I go with ATI, or Nvidia? I'm looking to spend under $50. Just something, inexpensive, but functional and durable.
Some light browsing brought this one up:

further research has shown that my HP pavilion likely only has a 250 watt power supply, so I'll either have to consider upgrading that as well, or settle for a vid card with lesser power requirements. I have no problems with settling for a card with lesser requirements.
