That is my computer. I get paid in two weeks, I am restricting my spending limit to 220$, could someone find me a nice graphics card? Also, I have a 300 watt power supply... so, I don't know what else to say. If I am not revealing enough information just ask. Find me a nice graphics card plz and thanks, I don't know how to do it mahself!!

I'm not Ex or Deathawk, but... I think you'll need a much bigger power supply to make use of a GPU for $220. Also, specify what you'll be using it for, so Ex can save you some money and not go over-the-top.

None.

video games. Actually, I cannot run Demigod... I would like to run Demigod. If the power supply is a problem, is getting a new power supply a good idea? I know how to install one. (alot of people do i think?) Sorry, i am going off on a tangent... To answer your question I would like to be able to run Demigod smoothly, where as I cannot run it right now.

It is a fact that you will not be able to use any GPU worth buying at this point in time with that powersupply. However, if you want to replace the PSU and get a new GFX along with it, you can do that for 220$. Here are my picks:
XFX HD 4870 1GB

Antec 500w
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371007

Came out to $224.68 after tax and shipping to me here in NJ. I'm not sure if the 4.68$ is that big of a deal, if it is let me know. Depending on where you live the tax might be less.
Oh and I believe the XFX is on sale, so if it goes off sale before you buy, let me know and I'll find you something else.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous

yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
