Take a look at newegg.com around 150$ for the vid card. I'll take a look later on both.

Hey Bill, if your just using it for what I think- testing purposes, you dont need a whole lot.
I would just use on board video and grab a cheap board and an older processor, 512 ram.

if you don't have onboard video you should just pick up a cheap video card.. i'm not sure how well windows is going to do with 16mb.
and i surely hope you don't plan to do any 3d rendering with that kind of graphics card :>
