    Price(s) (in Holland that is):
    Asus A9200 64 MB Price: � 49
    Ati 7000 32MB PCI TV+DVI Price: � 49.95
    Ati 7000 64 MB AGP Price: � 44.95

    There are obvious more, but this is just from 1 site.
    The stock right now from Euro to USD is: 1.2. Divide the �'s with 1.2 and get USD.

    Then, of course, there's Ebay Newegg.com usually offers really good prices as well.

    tat $50 price is kinda low, doncha think? do you want the card for 50, shipping included, or can u pay extra for shipping?

    Edit: a couple of nice deals here...

    1. PNY Geforce FX5200, 8X, 128 mb w/ tv out - 50 bucks after rebates, that meets your price

    or

    2. Chaintech, same as above, 256mb - 70 bucks afer rebates

    or, if you care to settle for a non-FX card, then

    3. Geforce MX4000 is only 30 bucks for 64 MB, or 40 bucks for 128

    or

    4. a complete piece of junk, i donno if you call this a upgrade, but a connect3D radeon 7000 64mb w/ tv out is only 27bucks

    EDIT 2: http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?dpno=419953

    geforce fx5200 128mb , not sure about the manufactorer, only $68, free shipping

    Search in eBay for a GeForce 3 or an Ati radeon 8xxx series. Or, if you want to go any further, look for a GeForce 4 4200. Most of these cards cannot be found on online retail channels as they are discontinued. You would have to get + $80 to get a decent video card as only with $50 the closest thing to a videocard would be an Ati 7xxx series, Ge Force 2 (which you happen to have) or a Geforce 4 MX, which is worthless. And the GeForce 5 200 is a poor DirectX9 performer.

    Shameless plug, EGGO . Yet it is a good offer, even if it is a DX8.1 part.

    or you could wait a while untill you have at least double the money and get a respectable card.
