I just ordered a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop computer that only comes with the integrated Intel 3100 graphics controller. Processor is quad-core 2.4 ghz Q6600.
I really don't play graphic intensive games at all (mostly just browsing and playing video and office apps), however, I do some engineering drawing and modeling that needs 3D rendering from time to time. What's a decent mainstream video card that I should get (below $150 target...lower the better of course). 8600 GT maybe? At least I'm assuming the 3100 isn't sufficient.
Thanks!
