very little gaming if at all.... perhaps i dont need an upgrade??

I was in your situation. I got a new 2001FP. I thought I'd need a new card to support DVI at 1600x1200. Apparently my old old old ATI Radeon Aiw 32MB DDR supports it. So I'm not upgrading new card or tv tuner. Saved me able $400 for 6600GT and probably HDTV tuner.

If it works fine for you now, there's no need to upgrade.

or
Hauppauge WinTV-GO TV Tuner/ Video Capture Card Text $19.95

the 6600GT AGP was released in november of 2004.

to be honest, what is your budget? if it is in the area of $200, do get a 6600GT agp
