ATI Radeon 7000 good enough?

[erub]

And maybe some dual display action with an older CRT..will text be crisp? And how's its stability? The main DVI output will be hooked up to a Samsung 910T monitor, which I've read looks much better on DVI.

7000 is good for home use,but has a nice clear image (on the monitor ) but only for office use

 

[erub]

any more opinions?

eh... back then Nvidia had better stuff. I would go with like a Geforce 2. However if you aren't playing games and are going to be doing office and stuff, go ahead and look for a matrox card, they have unmatched 2d quality.

Get a cheap Matrox card? If you only care about 2D, why waste your time with ATi/Nvidia?

edit: Heh! Gamingphreek's reply wasn't there when I loaded this thread. Two votes for Matrox.

My Dad uses a PCI 7000 with a 15 inch lcd and has no problems. It's a fine card, the 2D is arguably better then the GF2 series but I couldn't tell a difference.
