Best AGP video card for $40-60?

[flyted]

Before you say anything, I'm now using a 32mb PCI video card in my xp-2800/A7N8X, and it works very well for my basic needs. I use flight sim once in a while, otherwise I don't game and don't plan to. Don't plan to OC either. Just figured that $40-60 would give a inexpensive big improvement over the pci card. My research has led me to a FX-5200/128-bit/128 or 256mb AGP 8X card. Would I see a major difference? If not, I won't upgrade. Any better cards in this price range? For my needs all cards above this level seem to offer more than what I'll ever use on a 17 or 19 inch crt. Thanks in advance for all input.

If you dont mind getting used, a GF4 Ti4200 usually sells for that range on the For Sale threads.

Boo for the FX5200. Yay for the GF4 Ti cards!

he doesn't game and don't plan to, so fx5200 should be more than enough for him...

A 128MB, 128bit geforce fx5200 will suffice and be an improvement. You can also opt for a used geforce 4 ti4200 as well.
