    I want to put a Leadtek TV2000XP tuner card on an ECS K7S5A with Athlon 2100XP running Win98Se and Dx9.
    What would be a suitable budget graphics card?
    TV viewing will probably be its most demanding task.

    Radeon9200SE. Radeon9200. GFX5200. Those are exceptional cards for people not interested in playing mass games.

    Thanks for the prompt reply.
    I've been looking at the 9200Se,it's really cheap so i think i'll go for that.

    Thanks again

    As long as you dont expect to be able to play games at anything regarded as "high quality" then those are the cards for you :)

    No games.
    It'to replace a Riva 16MB which gives jerky TV viewing. With 64MB and Dx8.1 compatibilty it should do a good job.
