Best cheap AGP video card?

[sjetexas]

I need to get a new video card for my wife.

What's a good cheap video card? Gaming not important, but she does a lot of photoshop/graphics work. Looking for price and I want decent driver support, so nothing too old or anything discontinued. Her system is AGP, and she uses XP. Thanks!

Nvidia 6200, hands down. Dirt cheap, great drivers, great video for photo work, even plays HD video easily. Less than $40 (sometimes under $30!!) online.

I bought my Dad a 6200 then his Ti4200 died, works well enough, even for a little WoW at 1024x768 on low settings.

6200 is more than enough for WoW on Medium-High settings.

My 6200LE (3d fuzion), the fan is unbelievably loud.

Hmm that sucks, I've used the Gigabyte and Asus fanless ones, and they worked fantastic, and silent

My ATI Radeon X850 Pro AGP served me well with photoshop/graphic work alot. Price? It ain't cheap anymore

Maybe if it's a 128 bit version, but most of them (especially the cheap ones) are 64 bit, which KILLS performance.

Yep, there's no reason to buy an actively cooled 6200.
