What is a good card for my work computer?

ADE · 12-10-2006, 10:55 PM

I just need one that will help my computer a little for 1200x1024 or whatever that res was. It needs to be PCI-E 16x and have DVI and only $30 or less. Its not for gaming I just want a more crisp and clear picture at that res with DVI to help the computer work better.

I had this in my compaq. It actually makes a decent workstation card, along with nice TV-Out capabilities.

You wont notice much if any difference, even if switching from a VGA cable on integrated graphics, to a DVI cable on a 7900GT.

Well geeze dude, if you cant break the budget by a few bucks, then you're out of luck. That is one of the cheapest cards around.

OK, no DVI Then. Heck, it can have 32MB for all I care, just want the lines not to squiggle like it does. Right now I'm doing hi res on an integrated connector, something out there has got to do! Its just that one has such bad reviews....

If you want anything cheaper, then look on ebay. The 6200LE is the cheapest PCI-X card on newegg.
