I have this old gateway, with a 354mhz pentium 2 processor and 512 mb ram, and my dad wants to connect it to the TV and use it to download and watch online shows. But before I can connect it to my TV, I need a new graphics card. The motherboard says agp 128 on it so will any AGP card work? I found this 9550 with 128mb ram, a DVI as well as an analog port, and a S-Video port for $23. But it has Pentium 3 under minumum requirements. Will it work with my computer? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814103162
X2 3800, A8n deluxe motherboard, 7800GT, Xion 2 case

I looked on my graphics card and it is a stb gway vel 128 agp, and Im pretty sure that its an AGP 2x card (right?). So I will probably need a 2x/4x card (right?). I looked on New egg and there is a MX 4000 for $22 with an Svideo port so I am thinking about getting it as I have an MX 400 in my Pentium 4 dell and I used to play games on it and it hasn't had any problems (no, I wont be using this one for games, only video). Should I get this one or is there a better card for agp 2x?

I don't know of many cards for AGP 2x that are still available to buy so you ought to use that.
