PC video card upgrade
My old CRT is dying. I'm going to replace it with a 17" LCD... I'm thinking a new video card is in order.

I have a 64 meg Geforce3. Is there any good upgrade for that for under $125?

2. That's what I'm running
It's still a damn fine video card, perhaps at some point (after I've upgraded to 64bit) and I'm swimming in money I'll pick one up.

3. AGP or PCI?
For gaming or do you want TV style?

5. Thanks, that looks perfect!
Right price, and from a quick google search it outpaces the Geforce3 by a decent margin.
