best low-profile AGP card I can get for a HTPC? (for HD)

[Goosemaster]

basically, this will be plugged into a 1080p 50'' DLP TV via VGA so it has to have good analog input....

Also, everything wil be running @ 1920x1080, so I'm hoping thath there is somthing out there that can play anythign shy of h.264 @ that rez.


All i've found is an fx5200 and an ati 9550...anyone?



The HTPC has an 9MB integrated intel cipset btw

use the for sale/trade forum! You can pick up some great agp cards for super cheap there (recc 9800pro, 9700 pro, 9500, geforce 5 series, 6800NU for good band for your buck)

"this will be plugged into a 1080p 50'' DLP TV via VGA so it has to have good analog input...." you mean output???
you will have to cut the bracket at the VGA but these shold be good for HDTV even h.264 if you have a good cpu.

geforce 6200? i think it has dvi and vga and is a low profile card. if not, sapphire released their x1600 low profile cards, but i think that is only pci-e...

im guessing you are an agp guy since you are looking at a fx5500 and a radeon 9550...so the geforce 6200 would be good.

thanks.....I might be able to pull off DVI to hdmi so a good analog output might not be necessary ; I'm glad to hear that what you are posting is what I had in mind...

and am am still saddened at how few choices I have
