Okay, I need a new video card/more memory/some combination thereof.

I don't play any graphics-intensive games; what I need is something with a TV-out that will run my retarded anime fullscreen real pretty. Once the filesize gets up around 130-150 MB I get framerate slowdown and painfully visible refreshing and CPU usage leaps to 70-90%. Unacceptable, especially since my HQ episodes of Hellsing ( <3 ) weigh in around 200-250 a piece and so does everything else that's hot off the fansubbing presses (Naruto 6 is like watching a flipbook pawed over by a handicapped child.) I want to watch fullscreen from the comfy couch while downloading more.

Assuming I have a budget of $150, what are my best bets?
