help choosing a cheap video graphic card

i have a few old P3 800Mhz computer with XP Pro that i want to configure as SageTV clients. The SageTV server is a pretty strong machine with multiple tuners.
The P3 onboard graphic processor is not strong enough to display any of SageTV app. So i'm looking for a cheap card (ebay,...) ? What would you recommand ?

I'd be looking for a Nvidia 5200 or better.. Those are the cards with decent performance. You'd do best with a 6200 or better and could get away with as low as a mx400... ati is not recommended for Linux use generally, although you can get it to work.
