Video Card Recommendation Needed - 256MB AGP 4X?

The fan on my VisionTek GeForce 3 Ti200 (256MB AGP 4X) died this week. I'm looking for a good replacement card.



I realize my system is on the older side, but it is still performing adequately for my needs.



Asus Motherboard (a7v133 or a7v333 - I'll have to look at home)

AMD 1800+

2GB RAM

CD R/W

DVD R/W

2 HDD

450W PSU



I picked up a ECS GeForce 6600 LE (256 MB AGP 4X/8X) last night, but am having trouble getting it to work. Can't tell if it's power, bios, brand or straight up incompatibility with the mobo.



Thanks!|||for the 6600, make sure u got the drivers right.



My recommendations:



Budget $75-150$

Radeon X850 XT

GeForce 7600 GT



Budget <$75

Radeon 9600|||ATI Sapphire, there are several models but there should be a very good 256MB card.|||Try downloading the driver from the internet, that way is usually more up to date than the cd version.|||Ive ordered an ATI Radeon x16550 (i think thats the model no lol) 512mb, heard good things about them
