I'm looking at 2 Video cards. I want to stay under $180 and it has to be 4X 8X The first 1 was recommended by a friend and the 2nd I seen when looking for the other 1. So which 1 would be a good choice?
I don't play a lot of new games but a few. I also use it to make DVDs of my VHS football games which I have a lot.
The card I have now is the GeForce4 MX440.
Here are the 2 I'm looking at.

SAPPHIRE 100136L Radeon X800GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card

or

SAPPHIRE RADEON 9800PRO 256M Radeon 9800PRO 256MB 256-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card

Or is there a card I should be looking at other then these 2?
I just don't won't to be replacing it any time real soon.

If you want to stay within your $180 range and get a good Nvidia graphics card you should consider the GeForce 6600 from PNY or BFG. Make sure you get the 8X AGP as they do make the card in PCI Express as well.
