Budget Video Card

Hey guys!!, Just wondering if I could spend 0-70$ or so on a new video card, which would be the BEST to get and why? Gotta be AGP and not too much over the target. Thanks for the input.

P.S. Those green things are annoying.

This would be my recommendation. DirectX 9.0 support, 128mb of memory, reputable manufacturer.

work on an 4X AGP MOBO. I know it says 8x, but some of the 9550s above it on the list are 4x/8x.
