The X1950 did sound like a fast gamers’ card though and might also pose power consumption problems with the PSU. Plus it is generally in the $200 range. This is only my understanding and maybe I am wrong.

I think from reading all the discussions here so far it seems, since I don't do any gaming, like I can get away with a 256MB card, although 512MB might be better. I think I should stick to low power consumption ones though. And ideally I would like to stay in the $100 range.

Is there an AGP card in the $100 range with a dual DVI port and with either 256MB or 512MB with lower power consumption. Again, I don't do any gaming at all so that is not an issue.
