Default computer peeps...

my boss is looking to upgrade his video card so he can play call of duty 4 with his son. He has a Pentium 4 3.xx processor and 2 gig of ram. I am looking at something in AGP. The game has recommended Nvidia Geforce 7800 or better. I am out of teh loop. He is looking to spend 100-150 bucks...ready go.
