I'd likely go with the x600 from ATi.

The last card is PCI- express - the others are AGP. Make sure you buy the right card for whatever board you have (in mind).

If you stick with AGP i'd go with this card instead of any of the others:

Its also more powerful than the X600Pro.

what tells me what kind of vid card to get?

Under Expansion slots you find either AGP or PCI-X.
If you get that motherboard then it has an AGP slot. The Nvidia 6200 is probably the most powerful in the sub 100$ area.
