budhisetiawan

Its time to bury this old tank I have sitting on my desk...it takes up have the desk and the only card I can find to support it is about to go out...I am getting constant issues w/ the drivers and stuff....Just look at it...its Ancient....

Soooo .....to make everyone happy we are going to go w/ 19" LCD....now that is taking 150 of my 200 budget....soooooo

What are your Video card suggestions for under $50 w/Shipping?

Best bang for the buck is what we are looking here for...not top not bottom....just bang...I dont game as much as i used too...and really only use the home pc now for basic household duties...bills, email, games maybe (nothing is supported w/ this setup i got now...LOL) Anyway...Give me your suggestions and TIA

You can't really get a high-end video card with 50$...

If that board is agp then you'd probably be looking at something like a nvidia agp geforce 6600gt - 7600gt

AGP right?
A Radeon 9600 might be the best bet. There is one in my wife's computer and it handles 2d work fine. Her DVDs play great.

The G2 MX isn't bad, it'll work for just about anything unless it syncs on a weird color, then you need Power Strip.
