Maybe look at a 9600 Radeon
Otherwise your looking at an FX5600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102407 $72
If you look on the video card section on Newegg, you can select to view cards between $50-$75 only.
Here is a link to some tests on the cards you are likely to be looking at for your budget.

P.S. Don't go for PCI the transfer rate is far below AGPx8

Whilst those two may both solve the PS1.1 issue, neither are much cop for playing recent games, they're very old cards.

The MX4000 and Riva are both old GPUs, the 4000 may support 1.1 but it's not going to fetch a good frame rate in modern titles.

The MX4000 will be aftermarket, but it's still an old PCI card. The card may run that game OK at low settings, but it may not run other games. As an interim you may find that the card runs well, but let's just say you won't catch it playing Doom 3 and the likes.

The 4MX isn't compatible with the godfather (so neither is the riva or s3)
The 4MX will play railroad pioneer, though not at high settings. (Not at all with the riva or s3)
For Ubersolider, most cards are out of the question including yours. For ubersoldier I'd recommend you get an X800GTO or faster card for AGP. You'll also need 1GB of RAM.
Your processor should suffice, but that'll hold you back to medium detail.

X800GTO good, X850XT better. That's about as far as you can go with AGP but if you can aford the X850XT you should be able to play Ubersoldier pretty well as long as you have enough memory.

Ubersolider?
Must be a reasonably capable card then, as you've seen integrated graphics aren't going to cut it.

Pfff, well, erm, that'll do I suppose, but you're not going to see good performance in ubersoldier with a 9250, it's an old technology card and was budget to start with...
The 9600 would be better by a bit, but really you're looking at X800 specs really to play well, or at least a 9800.

Yeah. 9205s can be had for about 50 dollars including shipping at newegg, and they're as reputable as you get. Whether or not it says so on the box there's no such thing as a 9250 "Gamers edition". It may be overclocked slightly, but you're fooling yourself if you think the 9250 is a card for high-level gamers. The problem with the market is that everyone tries to sell a card as hard as they can, and therefore every card from $20 to $800 is marketed as "state of the art" you really need to know what the cards' disadvantages are.
I trust that 9250 is the one with the 128-bit memory interface? Thats important with a 9250, my mate bought the 64-bit version which runs at about 40% of the speed.
