Which one? WHICH ONE?!

Ok, I've got about $50 or so to spend on a video card. I'm not a gamer, I'll be using the machine for Corel Draw and Photoshop applications and won't need any resolutions greater than 1280 across. I need a PCI card and will be using it in an AMD XP1600+ system with 512MB of RAM.

What do you think is the best bang for the buck? Do I need 32MB or 64MB?

Your input is appreciated.

I'd go for a Radeon 7000, there are ones with dual VGA (if you want to use dual monitors, could be useful depending on what you use it for) and a lot of people say that they have good 2d image quality. The 3d performance is pretty crappy, so don't expect any games on it!

If you want one for a little gaming, take a look at the 7500.

For 2d, i would probably shy away from any GeForce 2 cards.

You might even want to see if you can pick up a Matrox, maybe a G400, as most people say that they have the best 2d image quality out of all
