Kids Need Guidence Buying Video Card.

I'm looking for a video card for a christmas gift for my brother.
I want to spend around $100 for one.

He plays games, but doesn't need the latest/greatest.

Right now he has a GeForce2 MX200.
He also runs a XP 2000+.

What would be a good card I could get him?
I was looking at the Radeon 9600 NP, is that any good?

The 9600 NP is a good choice. Your brother will see a very big difference between the 9600 and his MX200.

Do you know if your brothers motherboard supports AGP 8x?

AGP4x or8x, it really doesnt make much difference. Actually, it makes almost no difference.

R9600 is a great choice!

Some people have said that is not as good.
