I have an old Radeon 9800pro in my old desktop. I want to get an NVidia card because they have better linux drivers. I'm using this desktop as a media center PC right now, so it doesn't have to be great, but if possible better than what I have right now. I'm hoping to find something less than $50.

My motherboard is old and uses AGP, so it would have to be an AGP card.

I'm also open to getting a new motherboard with an onboard videocard that is better than what I have, if the motherboard is around $50 as well.
Since this is a media center, I want a pretty small motherboard though.

I know I sound picky, but I really am open for suggestions and deals you guys have seen or know about.

Your current card is probably as good as your going to get in your price range, and we can't help you find a new motherboard without knowing what processor you use (Intel/AMD)

Don't worry about the CPU. If I'm going to get a new mobo, I'll want to get a CPU too
