Video Card

I am planning on buying a 19in Flat Panel LCD monitor shortly and at present, I have a GForce 5200 video card but would like to upgrade that as well. I am not a gamer just business applications and the net, however into some graphic work but not in a serious way.

Can anybody recommend a decent card that is much better than the old 5200 but will not bust my wallet.

Thks

    Hi
     
      If your doing graphics, and want a good picture quality on the monitor, get a newer Matrox video card.  Can be found on Ebay.  They have dual monitor versions also.  Matrox has always had a good reputation for video quality.  Should be able to get one pretty cheap.  As always check their website for the newest drivers.
