Help me find a cheap video card
First of all, is it worth it; will I see a benefit from upgrading from my integrated intel graphics?
I have an AMD Athlon 2800+ (2.08 ghz) and 1 gig of ram.
I can play games decently on it, but would like to upgrade so I can run higher resolutions on my 19" monitor.
Does it cost much more to get one with a DVI output?
I can't check ebay until later when I get home but I've checked before and seen a lot of older video cards go pretty cheap, would something like a card I can get for $50 be worth it?

If I can find my GeForce ti 4800, you can have it (granted you have an AGP slot). It's only AGP 4X, but it'll definitely be an upgrade from what you have now.
EDIT: I think it's called a 4600... not 4800... whatever, I have a 6800 now so the that one is just collecting dust somewhere.

Sweet, looks like I have an 8X AGP slot. That'll work with a 4X card right?
