Need a low-end PCIe video card...

[EatSpam]

I'm looking for a low-end, slow, cheap video card for a server I'm building. There will be no gaming, no overclocking, and nothing at all graphics intensive on this server. In fact, I'd use my circa-1997 ATi mach64 if I had an open PCI slot.

The lowest end I have seen, at least on NewEgg, are boards based on the 6200TC chipset.... is there anything else out there?

Thanks!

If PCI cards are out of the question a 6200TC is about the cheapest thing you can get. Just make sure (if possible) to set it to not use any system memory.

for a pci-e slot eh? hmm...

go with the 6200s...cant really see any other low end pci-e cards, unless you count an ati x300 series...

You need an x300, preferably SE with 64 bit memory. Much lamer than any 6200.

Lame is good. Thanks.

Will an x300 work on a motherboard with an nForce chipset? That's my only concern with going ATI...
