Re: AGP card for widescreen monitors

yes i agree an inexpensive nvidia card will do fine, i prefer ATI myself
because i think there 2d graphics is crisper than nvidia but if no 3d apps
are being used then go for nvidia as the lower end cards are cheaper.

Any of the inexpensive cards should work. I'd probably grab an nVidia
based FX5500 or even a 6200.

I'm looking a cheap AGP video card to run a 2005 FPW at 1680x1050. No
gaming or 3D work. It's an older backup machine so I don't need anything
fancy at all.

Suggestions?

BTW, DVI would be nice but I'll run it analog if I have to.
