I personally put Matrox Millenium (either 4 or 8 megs RAM, IIRC) in
most of my machines and they prove quite capable of supportable
85-100Hz refresh rates at 1024x768 (my resolution of choice for 17in
monitors) and 1280x1024 (my resolution of choice for 19in monitors).
Pricewatch says they can be had for $25.  I'm sure you can get them
even cheaper at auction.

HTH,

Daniel
