Looking for a cheap option to put in the Compaq 1710 NX so that I don't have to share memory with that built in ATI video

Am considering SAPPHIRE Radeon X800GT 100125L at $109

MSI NX6200TC-TD64ESLF Geforce 6200TC supporting 256MB (64MB Onboard) at 37

eVGA e-Geforce 7300 GS PCI Express 256MB DDR2 at $80

XFX PVT43GNDF3 Geforce 6600GT 128MB at $100

obviously the MSI is the cheapest

Is there an even cheaper alternative that would give a good performance boost over the built in ATI that comes in the 1710NX

Any advice appreciated

I'd say x800 if you don't need SM3.0 and H.263 decoding
or 6600GT is you need(very partial) H.263 acceleration...
I've heard 7300 runs bad... but i'm not sure how it stacks up with other cards..
