I was considering starting a thread dedicated to cheap compatible video cards. Something like 3 options each for AGP, PCI, and PCI-Express. I just ran out of time and kind of gave up after compiling a list of about 20 different ones. I did see a few decent cards for around $50-$60 USD so there is hope for all.
The Radeon x line is excellent. Even though it broke me for a few weeks, I feel that my x800 Pro has beeen the best investment I've made in my PC so far. It's definitely overkill for Civ IV though.
The 9800 series is great for the price. I set up a couple of 6600s recently as well, and they are strong cards.
Edit : my first "owned" page!
