I have to run a background program to get my computer to not go to a (the?) blue screen of death. As long as you're meeting minimum system requirements, there's really no reason to buy a 600 dollar graphics card, unless you need it professionally.

I'd go with a budget Nvidia Card myself.

My current PC runs GW quite well, and I built it for under $500 shipped. I recycled peripherals such as the monitor, mouse, keyboard and hardware like CD/DVD drives and HDD and software - OS. Re-using all these components certainly helped keep my budget in line. My machine certainly isn't fancy, but it suits GW all right and has expandibility should I ever decide I just have to have two video cards.

Radeon Xpress might just play it ok.

I'd grab a sub $100 PCie car tho. Radeon X1600 or GeForce 7600. Or better.
