Videocard?

After arrival at the airport and reaching home, I took out the casing, I found the processor+heatsink detached. Incidently, I also found my GeForce scratched. Perhaps, it's time for a change.
The GeForce was very stable on my machine, now, are the newer just as stable or more stable?
I would love to own an ATI Radeon 64MB with video in/out. I haven't heard much about the ATI Radeon - the goods, the bads.
I seek suggestions and I don't have the money to spend much.
I use my machine to play the Age of Empires series... The first release, the second release and the latest: the conquerors.
That's about the only game I play. I would love to watch DVDs / DivX on my computer as well. Sometimes, I use the computer to do flash/photoshop stuff. Briefly, I mainly use it for music, age of empires series, chatting, a bit of others.
I attend very much to *compatibility*, **stability**, reliability then speed along with cost.
Suggestions?
-----------
P3 850,
Semi-broken GeForce,
256 MB RAM,
ASUS P3V4X,
IBM 13GB HD,
SB Live!,
17" Monitor,
WIN2000.

From what I've read about the Radeon:
goods:
------
best all-around card out
runs at huge resolutions [1280x1024 or don't bother]
DVD decoding onboard
bads:
-----
less than spectacular driver support for Win2K
high co$t
not the absolute fastest [GF2Ultra]
