Hey there Hard folks!

I'm just looking for some advice here, I am looking to turn my old P4 into a HTPC, but I need to upgrade the video card. The Mobo only has AGP. I need something that outputs HDMI/DVI, preferably duo screens, and can handle games. And not too expensive.

I know this is a tall order, I don't need anything top of the line, and with AGP I doubt I'll get or need it. There is just a gazillian cards out there now and I'm just looking for any recommendations or sweet deals.

Thanks!

Phil

Currently looking at the GeForce 7600, and ATI Radeon HD 2600 and 3650 just for some thoughts
 
Well, HD2600's and 3650's are good for everything except gaming. I think the HD3850 is the most powerful AGP card out.

Anyway, if you don't mind me asking. Why would you want to game with a HTPC?
 
Well two reasons. A) Playing games on a big wide screen TV with surround is fun and B) I'm moving in a couple of month so I don't want to buy a screen or any major purchases. I do however still want to play games until I build a new machine.
