Marktry the below url and choose 'video cards' from the list on your left. The Phoebe Micro PCI TV Master will show up in a list on the screen for $49. That's the one I'd try as I've got a modem made by them and it's really been excellent, especially for the price I paid. http://www.mpipc.com/main.cgi?COMP=COMPONENTS Alan Mark Potochnik wrote: My Matrox G400 works fine...

Joe, you could always try the various TNT cards that are out there. Most of them will come in PCI and AGP so you should shop around.

The Viper 550 and all the ATI cards are AGP.
