Best AGP Graphics card for Celeron 1.8Ghz

[Mike73]

Hi, I have an Intel D865GLC Motherboard (w/an AGP slot), with an Intel Celeron 1.8Ghz CPU.
(I'm installing Windows 7 on a new hard drive & Windows 7 Update says my integrated graphics card won't handle Windows Aero.)
What's the best(most appropriate) AGP Graphics card to get for that combination?

AGP - that's....over a decade old tech

That's quite a chunk of money for such an old and low end card though.

Edit: This is a much better deal, assuming your monitor has DVI input.

I'll defintely check that you, thanks!

Becareful about video acceleration with flash/html5 video, and browser acceleration, it needs at least UVD2 first made in Radeon 4000 series cards, and purevideo 2 in nvidia cards. I would double check this, and modern browsers like Chrome use DXVA in a GPU as well. I would double check this, as the right card could keep the pc relevant for browsing at least.

Thanks again, for your insight. I searched Amazon. Do you think this card below would work?
EVGA 256-A8-N341-LX e-GeForce 6200 256MB DDR2 AGP

Thanks Blackclouds. My ignorance of such spec's is just what I was worried about...so UVD@ & DXVA in a AGP card. If you think of anything else, let me know. I'm currently shopping away.

...spoke too soon. My system's 32-bit & looks like that egforce is 64-bit. I'll keep shopping.

you should try to find

HIS IceQ Radeon HD 4670 H467QS1GHA 1GB 128-Bit DDR3 AGP

this is the fastest AGP card ever released.

Thanks for that! I haven't find an AGP one yet, but will keep looking.
I actually found an old nVidia GeForce 2 MX for $10 at a local computer recylcer, but they don't make Windows 7 drivers, just XP. I'm not sure if I use the XP, wether 7 will be able to use it in compatibility mode. If you know, let me know.
Thanks, again!

What the card is has nothing to do with the operating system, the 64 bit on the video card is the memory interface width.

I would not spend more than $10 for a video card for that system, for $100 you can get a used dual core system that is 6 times faster than your Celeron, so 25 for a card to have a old slow system or another 75 to have a newer faster one. If you look around you can probably find systems even cheaper than $100 with a Core 2 Duo or a Core Duo CPU. Try to keep above 2.2 gig in speed, the early dual cores can be a bit slow with newer programs.
