Radeon sux :P
J/k  the brands aren't the problem, i think Nvidia and ATI are good enough for this game, i have a GeForce 4 MX440 and play fine the game, also another friend of mine who is also sticked with NVidia and is using a GeForceFX 5200.

EDIT: Check for this, go to Start Menu -> Run...
then type "dxdiag" and press enter
go to the display section
check if direct3d acceleration it's enabled, if not do it.

yes the 5200 is easily good enough to run the game, you might have to have the setting relatively low but im sure you will understand if you dont want to pay a lot. im sure you do have an agp slot unless your pc is really old. but if you are in doubt run sisoft sandra www.sisoft.com which will tell you if you have one though im sure you do.
the 5200 will be fine and is a directx 9 card.

tbh i dont know any canadian components sites to look at so i have no idea how much it would cost. but is the 70 canadian dollars for that 5200 on ebay a lot??? i dont know.
well any pc older than 5 years might not have an agp slot but what windows version are you running and are there any stickers on your pc that say intel inside on them and then the processor???
