I have a Tnt2 ultra card in my machine and i'm ready to upgrade... I want to have video out for DVDs and such, and I dont want to pay over 150 bucks.. Which Geforce 2 card is the best for the money? These things have gotten so complicated since I last upgraded: MX 200, MX 400, Geforce2 ultra ect ect.. Pretty sure I only need 32 MB, but if it comes with 64 for not much more whatever... Also i'm getting some weird brands on pricewatch when i search for one with video out. I'm pretty sure creative doesnt make one with video out.
Thanks for the help

Go to newegg.com and pick up the Gainward Geforce Pro 64MB 4.5ns for $142 shipped. It has TV out and overclocks extremely well, excellent 2d.

Do you play DVDs on it? Is the picture quality ok? I've read articles about how the screen is cut off, or surronded by a black box. Thanks for input

One more thing to add... Nvidia is releasing a "personal cinema" product very soon, i'm not sure if the graphics will be based on or if they will be dumbed down... it will include remote control, TV tuner ect... see press release here or is it just a hell of alot less hassle to just buy a consumer DVD player... i'm confused, i'd like to upgrade my video card and get nice TV functionality, if i ust cant right now then i'll just get the DVD player
thanks
