Well I use a 6600GT on my system, but I don't think you can get those
anymore.

You can still find the 7600gs, 7600gt, 7900gs for AGP.  The 7900 is
nowhere near your price point.  www.lucomputers.com lists a 7600gs AGP
for $98 with VGA and DVI output.

tigerdirect claims to have the 7600gt 512MB AGP for $133.

www.canadacomputers.com has the 7300gt for $105 (with a $15 mail in
rebate on top of that to make it more like $90).
