A GeForce FX 5200(LE) AGP with DVI is what I use for this purpose. These cards are 2x AGP compatible, the connector is properly keyed as 2x/4x. Performance-wise, it is roughly a GeForce 2/3 equivalent but with DX8/9 features. OK, thanks for the suggestion. I can't find many of those for the same …

I just also want to make it clear that the reason I am looking for something with DVI is that I would need to connect it to a modern monitor through a DVI-HDMI cable - am I wasting my time here? I feel like it should be OK, as long as the monitor supports the resolutions I am using, right?
