Not High Quality?
Wierd, When I see people playing portal on youtube, I see that closed portals have blackish spots on them, and opened portals have a little flame like design on the edges.
As for me, On closed portals there is no black spots, it's just a plain color with some sort of a shading effect. And open portals do not have any special designs on the edges.
I've even set the quality to the maximum.
If you want to know my graphics card, it's Nvidia GeForce something something
Which GeForce is it? There are loads of different types, not just a few, as seen at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_NVIDIA_Graphics_Processing_Units. I would guess at least half of the cards shown on that page are GeForce.
It could be down to you having an early model, which doesn't support all the special effects.

My Portals look like his portals
If you look under Video Adapter in the Device Manager it should tell you which GeForce card you have. To find the Device Manager right click the My Computer icon and click on Properties.
Even when I put all my settings to their lowest, I always had the same affects around my portals (the fancy effects).
You must have one seriously out-of-date graphics card. Time to upgrade.
Probably, but their are really expensive... the new ones.
Anyone know of a good graphics card that is... cheap?

NVidea 8400 GS is kickass.
Problem with recommending a video card is we need to know what type of graphics card slot you have and what your price range is. Is the slot a AGP or PCI-E? If you bought your computer from DELL or something, it would help if you said what model your computer is.
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
I just found out my Nvidia driver xP
