video card recommendations

[beginner]

Can anyone recommend a good quality AGP video card for under $100?

I currently have the following system:

MS-6167 Mobo
AMD Athlon 600
256 MB memory
SIIG sound card (in process of ordering
the Philips the Philips I've heard
a few of ya'll recommend)
2 hard drives
Dual boot Windows 98 & Windows 2000 Prof

I also plan to get a new mobo & the AMD Thunderbird in the next couple of months.

Thanks

nVida TNT2 Ultra 32 MB would be my recommendation in that price range.

got close to your 100$ @ 135$

Asus 7100 GeForce mx 32 meg
awesome 3d video and 2d video and has several options.
a standard VGA
a standard VGA and tvout Inc svideo
a standard VGA and a digital out that has a converter to standard VGA so you can run dual monitors.
I get 4661 3d marks running the www.madonion.com (http://www.madonion.com) 3d mark 2000 VERY NICE for the price! http://www.sg3d.com/products/1390036.asp?PN=1390038

if you are into home movie editing and want an super card, spend 150$ for this board, even has 3d glasses http://www.axiontech.com/cgi-local/prdtinfo.asp?prdt=VIASV6600DLX

I have used these boards on several computers and they are trouble free and great graphics for the price.

They have the Geforce MX by Inno3D for 98 shipped. (Ive ordered this card and used this card myself). It had just the normal Monitor output. (OEM w/o fan)

Thats the best card I can recommend for under $100 shipped.

The Geforce2 MX chip is better than the TNT2 Ultra.

I got a Radeon 32mb DDR from unitedmicro.com for $115 shipped! This card will beat a GeForce 2 MX and its 2D is one of the best out there.

I agree with the radeon, they are sweet cards. The radeon or the GeForce MX are probably the best buys right now.

Dude, w.wh...w..what! You are asking about a kool card?! Say it with me R-A-D-E-O-N. if you have phat system (Thunderbird...need we say more) OK, Get a Radeon 64DDR far cheaper then Geforce + Runs better and faster in high rez + has alot of neat stuff that comes with it!!! Now say it with me R-A.....Aww **** it. Just do what I say and you will not be displeased!!!
Hope I helped
