I have a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2. The system is primarily used for dvd viewing, and some light gaming.
The motherboard will take a AGP 8x. Any suggestions that are a safe upgrade?

Obviously the rig is old, so I do not want to put more money into it, so a cheap (sub $100) video card would be ideal. I just need to tie over until my next rig build in Dec 2008.
I may need a power supply upgrade. (Current PS is 300 watts). Any suggestions for PS to handle the graphics upgrade?

Thanks.

The 7600GS should be available under $100 and would do fine for you. I'm running one on a 250W PSU.

if your PSU is a decent 300 watter then a 7800GS, 7600GT or 2600XT should fit the bill nicely or you could go for a decent 400 watter and get a X1950GT/Pro that would be a decent upgrade...although maybe a bit of overkill for an old AXP system.
