Help picking out a video card

[jentzsch]

Well I'm planning on playing movies I have on my computer (mostly .AVI or mpg) on my TV. The computer I plan on playing these from is a 1Ghz PIII 512MB Ram and about a 250 Gig HD or so with Windows XP, nothing spectacular but I figure it will get the job done. I've also been toying with the idea of turning it into a home TiVo kind of, from what I've read it seems like a pretty easy build. My problem is when I've been looking at NewEgg, I can't really decide on what kind of Video card to get, it will have to be a PCI card though, and any help on deciding would be great, thanks ahead of time!

Or Something beefy for PCI

But then again it all depends on your budget really.
If you will spend like close to $100 bucks for a PCI VGA What I would do instead is to get a New Skt 370 board that has AGP slot and Get a nice AGP For example like this:

And browse either on EBAY or other Tech Forums to see for a Used or new Skt370 for cheap Im sure there are plenty around to buy from But then again all depends on the case what formfactor it is.
