You said yourself that a DirectX9-compatible video card will work, so  
basically anything from a Radeon 9200 onwards or a Geforce 6000  
series onwards, which puts the price well under $100 for even new  
cards.  Even $150 will give people plenty of video speed.  Heck, you  
can even get those cards in PCI flavors for people without AGP or PCI- 
e slots.  Am I missing something?
