it depends on if you plan to play games.
if you don;t you can get i decent card for 40$ i think. its a gforce 128 MB graphics card. its pci though.
If you plan to plan games you should get atleast 256 MB graphics card. but it might be hard to find one under $100.
i usually buy my compuer stuff from
www.newegg.com
and
www.mwave.com

If you have an AGP port I would go with a geForce 6600GT - good all around, and the cheapest card you can get that has shader model 3.0 - for games like oblivion.

you can get a decent GEforce 7300 with 256 mb for around 70-80 bucks...
