I bought a 64 MB Geforce2 MX 400 for like, 90 bucks a coupla weeks ago.
Works great-- nothing like 1600x1200@ 85 Hz on a 21" monitor.  Of course,
you could go with an 8 MB card and do fine, but if you wanna watch videos,
etc, I recommend faster.  My Other box plays DVD, avis, etc, and the 8 MB
AGP card I had was too slow.  (ANd, I think it's fried now).
