I'd wait for a while. Nvidia just annouced a line of low-price DirectX10
cards to be released soon. These will be around $100. Unfortunately most
newer cards are PCI-E so I don't know what will be available in AGP. I just
got an AGP BFG 8600GS with 256 MB that gets a 5.9 rating in Windows Vista for
$100 but it's only a DirectX 9 card.

Thanks for the suggestions, they will help.
I don't play games much, just want better video performance.

Sorry - my dyslexia is showing up again. It's a older 6800GS, not 8600.
