    I would try to look for a Graphic card - that way people may know what you are talking about.

    Moved.

    You're going to be hard pressed to find a $100 vid card that's going to be very good at Doom3. In all likelihood you'll need to run the game at a disappointingly low resolution to get playable frame rates.

    That being said I think your best bet for that price range would be some form of Radeon 9600SE or GeForce FX5700LE. If you could muster up another $40-$50 you'll be looking at the 9600XT or 5700Ultra which will give you much better performance.
