Cause i ve heard bad things about Gforece 4.
(I d like it to be AGP, 64 mb and with TV out)

Well it all depends on the rest of your system and how big your wallet is..

Personally I think a Geforce 4 Ti4200 or an ATI Radeon 9500 would more than suit your needs !

If you have the moolah($), then get the Radeon, i have the GF4 MX440 and its decent enough for me, playing UT2003 and Battlefield 1942

i have the Geforce 4 Ti4200 and love it , but they are sadly correct, expensive tho it is i still want the Radeon

I have a Radeon 8500le, and it works well with all of the new games that I try. The 64mb version is about $70 on pricewatch. The one I got had vga, dvi, and tv out, and supported dual monitors.
If you can spend more money on it, you should get a Radeon 9500 or 9700.

I also use a GeForce 4 TI4200.. and I play a lot of computer games.. it works very well for me. Have no complaints. And I got mine for 100 dollars a while back on www.pricewatch.com.

I'm running a Radeon 9700 PRO and it is without a doubt the best card I have ever run. However, it is a bit more than most will need. I suggest using a Radeon 9500. It's about $149 and will run everything out there today.

Geforce 4 Ti4400 128 RAM
(leadtek)

Love it.
Absolutely no problems, and it makes beautiful Love with my 21" monitor.

Currently I believe this runs abt $155

gforce is about as good as it gets until you get into SGI systems... never had an issue with Gforce cards and would highly recommend them

I'm running a Radeon 7000 32 mb ddr in my system and am perfectly satisfied. That might seem kind of primitive to some but it's a good card. I'd go for the Radeon if it were me.
