Video Card for A7V8X

what card would you guys recommend to go with the A7V8X for a moderate gaming rig? nothing too fancy, games like C&C Generals, Madden, maybe some Unreal but the rendering doesn't need to be superb. cheap but effective is the goal. it'll be running in an Athlon XP2000 with 512mb. thanks.

Well, what do you consider cheap?

Here is a decent Geforce 4 for $135

probably looking to spend less, but not at the cost of getting those games up and running smooth...

also, what type of memory should be used with the A7V8X/Athlon Xp2000 for fastest throughput?
