Of those three cards they are all very similar.
the fx 5600 is newer and the same speed roughly as the 4200. It is dx 9 compatible( there are no dx 9 games or apps even in the pipeline for this year)
The ti 4200 is actually a little faster than the fx 5600. And cheaper in this comparison with a couple extras, so hard to ignore that one.
I would get the ti 4200. I dont know what euros to dollars are, but Ive seen it for $100 usd after rebate.
DONT get geforce 4 mx, which is what I have. That mx means its really a geforce 2.
Some games you can play on a regular tv. Keep in mind though that a tv set is 320 x 200 so it will look like crap.
Whats much more useful but expensive is the feature TV-in, which would let you record from your TV like a Tivo.
8 x agp, well does your motherboard have agp? If not you cant get any of these anyway you need to get a pci card. If it does, does it have 8 x agp. If not you can still use these cards its just it doesnt matter to you. Actually there are no bench tests that show 8x agp is faster than 4x agp its just technobabble.
