Any suggestions on a mid priced video card, I don't do hardly any gaming at all, but would like a nice card for not more than $150.

ed1: the problem with vid-cards it that they either cost a fortune or they are junk (like mine). I have, over the last 2 days, been doing a little research into getting a new one myself. After fussing around I came up with an "older" model that has all the things I was looking for, but at an extremely reasonable price! I wanted more than a GEforce2 platform: with DVD-compatability, dual monitor support, and S-cable output to connect to my over-priced TV. The problem is that my wants put me in the $400+/- range of cards! And even in that range everything was skewed toward gamers and most lacked the outputs I was looking for!! But with a little digging: I found all that in the Radeon 7500. It's only a 64, but that is not a "mortal injury" if you aren't a "game freak". The basic performance of the card seems very solid. There is some fussing about drivers, but I think that is mainly by people that don't know how to install drivers for vid-cards. (It can be tricky) Soooo: here's the link. Look it over: computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-1107-404-7425583.html?tag=dirand... www.ati.com/products/pc/radeon7500/index.htmlhappy hunting! ;D
