I've got some suggestions... in both PCI-Express and AGP variety.  You'll definately want to use the digital connector (DVI) so all cards suggested will have both an analog and digital connector.\n\nThe ranges given are relative to your price point.\n\nBasic - home office, Internet surfing, no games:\nAGP: ASUS Geforce MX4000 (23.99 + s/h) link #1\nPCIe: MSI Geforce 6200TC (36.00 + s/h) link #2\n\nMid-range - mostly office/Internet use, some games:\nAGP: SAPPHIRE Radeon 9600 (57.99 + s/h) link #3\nPCIe: MSI Geforce 6600 (76.99 + s/h) link #4\n\nUpper-range - will play most games pretty well.\nAGP: SAPPHIRE Radeon X1600PRO (139 + s/h) link #5\nPCIe: SAPPHIRE Radeon X800PRO (149 + s/h) link #6

thethief is kind of right, but youll get sucky performance. Buy a modern agp or pci-express video card and it should have a dvi and vga input, with a dvi > vga adapter allowing more than one monitor plugged into the video card.

the best and most exspensive on the market right now is NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8828136606&category=3762 ...go to http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_attrib.php/page_id=5/form_keyword=video%20card/rd=1/popup1[]=15:387 and explore different memory amounts, brands, and compare prices

I like ViewSonic. Never had a problem with them.

Sorry Sasho -- not correct. Matrox is outdated and their top tier cards are only good for some workstations. Look to any nVIDA based 7900-7900-8800 class card forthe best, or an ATI based card X1900. ATI has the best IQ (image quality) in my opinion, save the newest $650.00 behemouth nVIDA based 8800GTX -- but the 8800 is DX10 based and XP won't be able to see any DX10 benefits (only Vista will use DX10). So right now I would say a Sapphire X1900XTX or eVGA 7950GTX would be the best right now unless you can afford the 8800GTX and will use Vista very soon.

can't seem to find any online shop w/ a X300 AGP;\nyou should bring it back to the place where you bought it and ask if you can get a AGP card instead.\nfor that price you'll be limited to an older 9550, alas :(

I almost entirely agree with the previous answer.\nThe only possible thing to watch out for is the next version of Windows, dubbed Windows Vista.\nThis OS is going to come packaged with a new drawing API that uses the capabilities of your 3D card.\nThe quality of what your OS displays is going to be correlated to the specs of your 3d card.\nNvidia keeps a list of GPUs expected to work to some extent with Vista. Obviously, the more recent chips are likely to yield better rendering quality.\n\nIf you don't feel the need to always run the latest software, you don't need to worry about it.\nOtherwise, you may want to plan for the future.

I'd recommend you attach a AGP card of arounfd 256MB, something like NVidia

800x600 is okay for most of the monitors selling in the market, cause 17" is most popular in term of price and view, and its default setting the best for the dimension, 1024x768 might leave you with a lot of white space on one side, and too compact on the other.

try this one..\nXFX GeForce 6600GT 256 MB PCI-E SLI Ready Graphics Card

Go for Nvidia Geforce FX5200 with 256MB on board memory.  There are several variants of card based on this FX5200 chip.  Both AGP, PCI and PCIe.  This is cheap, compatible with Direct X9, and compatible with Windows Media centre.  You can get versions of this card with TV out (handy for media centre, playing DVDs) and you can get half height/low profile version of this card if you have small PC (eg HP D530, a great media centre PC).   Search for FX5200.

you are looking for a Asus EAX1950 XT/HTVDP - 256MB- PCIe- TV+2xDVI+ViVo\n512 only come with... the X you don't want >;)\nnot a biggy, 256 MB will be just fine\n(have a x1600 w/ 512MB... most of the time 128 would be enough)\n\nthey are most likely going to be in back order, though.

if money is no issue try the ATi X800XL-AGP or the nVidia 7300GTX-AGP these cards are high end cards but are limited due to their AGP interface, the've got around 256 MB of GDDR2 RAM and plenty of clock speed they come at a tag of $200-$500

It really appeals to you...the things I've noticed is the 1900 has HD capabilities.  If I was going to hook this up to my plasma I'd go with that, but for the price difference if I was going to use it primarily with a pc monitor I'd go with the 1650 with the bigger memory.

Best place to look is Newegg.com ther are many. for the ATI side the 1600 series and up are very good and usually between 100 and 300 dollars but you can go as low as 1300 series, and for gforce the 6600 series and up are usually good and are usually priced from 100 to 500 dollars but once again at a minimun you'll want a 6200 series. And in today day and age i dont recomend below a 256 meg vid card for gaming.
