Looking for a budget card...

[GuruJockStrap]

My 6800GT is basically going to waste as I haven't played a game on my PC since the begining of December and have no intentions to do so in the near future, so I'm going to sell it and buy a cheap card.

Bit confused as to what to get from ATI and Nvidia's offerings.

My needs are:

1. Has to be AGP
2. Silent. Passive would be great but its going into a toasty Shuttle so I don't want it to overheat. Don't find a heatsink/fan as long as its quiet.
3. Has to be able to handle my 2005FPW's Widescreen resolution of 1680x1050 with ease and no slow down in 2D
4. Will be watching DVD's and other media on the PC so image quality/performance has to be good with software DVD players.
5. £50 or under please

What should I get?

A passive 6200 would be a good bet for what you need

It's also got hardware video decoding which is nice!

Managed to find a half height, passive 6200 128MB Asus model for £33.

Hopefully, it sucks less power than this hungry 6800GT at idle so it should bring down the internal temps of my Shuttle.

That would do the job!
