Can anyone suggest the best video card for me under $100, I really need a cheap one
Best Cheap video card?
I suggest you to look for ATI cards you'll be able to find good cheap cards, I can't compare prices because I'm living in France but here you can find a Radeon ATI 9600 Pro - 256 Mo - AGP to €75 or $91.
Hope you'll find what you're seeking for.

Look no further than Crucial:

They have some great cards and they're pretty cheap too.
For instance:
The Crucial RADEON 9250 128MB AGP - $45.99
or (significantly better)
The Crucial RADEON 9600SE 128MB AGP - $73.99
Very reliable company - I've bought a load of stuff from them and never had any problems.

try Radeon 9800 Pro, you can flash the BIOS to a 9800XT
if you don't mind a refurbished product you should chech these out. I kinda assumed you needed AGP 4x/8x,
ATI x700

or
GeForce 6600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814139173R
both are great cards.

Only buy a x700 if you just can't buy a x800.
and the x700 or x800 should provide higher FPS.
Actually the x700 and 6600 have very similar performance, each with their strong points but I believe nVidia had it on this battle overall.
But for most applications, I'm fairly certain it was
x700 < 6600 < x800 < 6800
... and his budget was under $100, which cuts out the higher end here.

depends what pc u got 
a GeCube 9550Gu worked fine for me , its clocked a bit better then a 9600 Pro if u need PciX then u'r in a bit of troubles cuz they cost mroe and i suggest u save up more there it's worth it

Second the Radeon 9550 recommendation. That's an awesome card, although I wouldn't recommend overclocking it.
NVidia 6200...or ATi radeon x300.Both are under 70s
I wouldn't recommend a Geforce 6200 or x300.
They might be cheap but your grandaddy's rusty wheelchair is faster.
Do not go lower then a Nvidia Geforce 6600GT or ATI Radeon x700Pro
By the what games do you want to play on it?
for doom I recommend Nvidia
but for Source games like Half-Life 2 I recommend ATI
