i bought a nvidia GT240 for $49 a couple months ago and coupled with duel core 2.8ghz cpu and 3gb of ram it runs minecraft without any trouble. It also plays most modern games pretty well on medium-high settings.

^What Christoi said. If Minecraft doesn't run well the first thing you want to check is your cpu. A graphics card will only be the problem if you have a decent cpu and integrated graphics. Even a Radeon HD 5450 can run Minecraft just fine.

They all suck. They just suck differently. Sort of like prostitutes.
