I would reccomend for that budget of around 60$, a radeon 9200 (http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=190780) for around that range. Search at pricewatch.com for more of them.

if you could swing another 20, up 80$ it would be well worth it to get a geforce 4 ti4200 64meg version.

dont get the geforce mx card though, they are pure shit, your far better off with the radeon 9200 from gigabyte or saphire, any of the brands, that ATI gives the chips to.

what about apg and pci busses does it matter - ??? (keeping in mind a bus is basicly a cable) I can't really recomend a graphics card unless you tell me how much money you got in nzd, but do get an agp card you'll much better performance.
