CHEAP graphics card

[Rapishorrid]

I am looking to buy a Samsung 226bw 22" for my new build. Everything is nice (DS3, 2gb ram, OC'd E4300 etc.) except since I am tight on cash it was a choice between getting the monitor and waiting to get an 8800 or vice versa.

I need a cheap (I'm talking $30 shipped) graphics card that will be able to handle the 22" LCD at native res and hold me over (no games obviously) until I can get some more cash. Is there any reccomendations for such a cheap card or is it just not reasonable to expect to be able to get something at that price?

Thanks for any help.

Your best bet is to go to the FS/FT forums and post what you are willing to spend and what resolution your LCD is native and see what folks offer. As for anything new, I honestly do not look at anything under $30. Maybe a used 6600 can be had for $30ish??

You should be able to get a FX5200 for around $30.

I'd also look at a 6200TC for around $40.

You can get a Radeon X1300 128MB from ZipZoomFly for $34.99 shipped.

Not a great performer by any standards, but it does have the AVIVO features..
