I don't know what's available on the Nvidia side (maybe a Geforce 2MX of some sort??), but on the ATI side you maybe able to find a orginal ATI Radeon 64mb VIVO for under $100 (I just sold mine for $80 to someone). Also if you are willing to spend a little more the ATI Radeon 7500 (OEM version) is available and starting just under $100 on pricewatch. HTH

If you play games you might want to check the Gainward GF2TI450 for $97.00 at Newegg. Also the Visiontek GF2GTS-V for $65.00 at Newegg. Both are much better than an MX of any kind, both have good 2d, the TI450 is faster but both perform well.

Might wanna try the Abit Siluro Geforce2 MX400, or a Geforce2 Pro which is a bit over $100.
