I need some help replacing my video card on my old Dimension 8100. I think it was a Nvidia Geforce2 MX 32mb. I'd like a nice, cheap (<$75) video card to replace it. It's not used for video games or anything really graphic-intensive. It's just for browsing the web, email and music. Any suggestions? Is there anything I should look out for? I'm not too familiar with video cards and AGP and whatnot.

Thanks!

Here's the link to the Dell Dimension 8100 technical details.

You can probably find something on the For Sale section here. I've seen a few AGP cards for sale lately.

Did your old card just die? What is the reason you're replacing it?

For $75 at Newegg, the number of choices is relatively decent. I think that you can get a 7600 GS for that, and that's not such a low grade card as an MX is, not at all.

You can get new AGP cards for $40 off NewEgg. You won't need a 7600GS for web, e-mail, and music.

Can you give me a recommendation? I'm a beginner at this. :/
