Here is the comparable ATI card to Steve's suggestion (one jump up from the
chart)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121340

Both have free shipping, ATI has a MIR that brings it down to $34.99
Plus ATI had HDMI (if that's important)

In general id look into this card, I have liked evga decent cards with
decent support and decent reliability, and if you want some 3d functions but
not looking at gaming the 1g o0f vid ram will do nicely.

and i would suggest the nvidia drivers over the stock ones in your described
situation, and less than 60 bux now.

not as cheap at fry, but the rebates bring it down to 40 if you go with a
512 card
