I'm looking for the cheapest AGP video card that can support a 20" LCD. Any advice?

What about the cheapest AGP card to support 24" widescreen?

I have an older AMD system that is bad need of upgrade, but I am waiting it out until the Duo 2's are available to do a to system rebuild including a mid-range video card. In the mean time I'd really like to get rid of the CRT that takes up half of my desk and am quite sure the old Viper card sitting in this piece of junk won't support the montiors I'm looking at.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

All video cards can support all resolutions, it just depends on the video card drivers. I believe the Radeon 9250 supports your monitor, and is pretty cheap (<$40).

All video cards can support all resultions? My TNT2 card can support a Dell 20" or 24" lcd? I thought there was some minimum horsepower in terms of refresh rate and resolution supported...

Basically just need windows to work at this resolution. I'll hold off on 3-D gaming until I update the entire rig in November.

The card I have in there now is a TNT2 32MB. If this will work with a 20in LCD then awesome, but for some reason I would be suprised if it did.

Thanks.
