Default Need Advice with upgrading to AGP Video Card

Hello Folks,

I am looking to upgrade to an AGP video card with the TV-out
connector. First off, I don't play games on the computer. So, I
don't need the fastest most powerful card out there. I would probably
be limited in that regard anyway, since my power supply is 250 volts.

My primary uses for the video card would be for on-line video
streaming. I frequent the "free tube" web site which let's you watch
live TV.. up to a fulll screen. So, it was my hope that wiith the
TV-out option, maybe I could finally ditch cable TV for free tube. :)
So, the card should be able to handle streaming video well. In
addition, I use the computer for photo editing, etc. I may also use
the system for video editing at some point, unless I upgrade to a
faster system before that.

So, I'm basically looking for an improvement on what I already have
(SIS Mirage 2 integrated VIdeo with 128 MB shared memory) and which
has the TV out option.

Here are the Specs of my system:

AMD Athlon 63 3200+
1.5 GB PC3200 DDR SDRAM
120 GB 7200 RPM Ultra DMA Hard drive
DVD+RW/CD-RW
CD-ROM
250 watt power supply

Thanks for any assistance you could give me!!

Chris
