Need advice for video card for about $100 budget

[bupkus]

I've started puting together a pc but have give very little thought to the video card. It's time I address this issue.

I don't play games, but I just might start. I'm getting a Duron 800, later to be upgraded to a Palomino inside a KT133A mobo.

Is that GeForce2 MX endorsed by AnandTech the best bang for the buck? My current pc has a Matrox Millenium, so I'm used to Matrox and their stability.

I suppose I could use a Matrox G400 or G450. I don't know because of all the things I have research, I've ignored video completely.

dont get the 400/450 if you're gonna use w2k.. it's annoying with the virtual desktop etc,etc..

How about a 32MB Radeon? If you can spring the extra $20-30 (look in FS/T here), you'll get great 2d/3d and DVD playback.
