Need Help with picking out a video card

[venom600]

Hi I would like to have a decent video card for about $200 or less

But there are so many video card options out there so i thought i would go here and ask the experts or people who just love building computers

I am building a:
Shuttle SN45G SFF computer
AMD 2500 Barton
512 MB DDR 2x256

So if you would please give me some suggestions.
So far i have picked out these cards:
SAPPHIRE ATI RADEON 9800 PRO Video Card, 128MB DDR
GAINWARD nVIDIA GeForce FX5900XT Video Card, 128MB DDR, 256-bit
GAINWARD nVIDIA GeForce FX5700 ULTRA Video Card, 128MB GDDR3, 128-bit

Please tell me the brand and model # so i can go look for it if you are going to give me a suggestion
There are like 500 types of ATI Radeon 9800 and 300 kinds of GeForce FX out there and i got no idea what is the best

These are basically the specs I want in order to keep it below $200
128 MB video ram
8x AGP
either 128 or 256 bit

and I got no idea what is better nVIDIA or ATI please let me know what your opinions are

most probably going to buy from newegg.com so if you want to link your suggestions from there, that would be fine.

Thanks,
Allen

The best card hands down for your budget is the 9800 PRO 256-bit.

large differance between 128bit memory bus and 256bit, i would be more worried about that rather than the 8x vs. 4x agp since there is no noticable gain. sonic hit the nail on the head with his pick

I'd get the MSI one if you don't mind the look, it has some free games with it.
