    Which Card for alround use, especially High Def Support to LCD

    Hi Everybody Newbie in need of some advice

    I currently have a HP PC with 2.66 Processor and a Nvidia GeForce MX 440
    which doesn't have a DVI output.

    I do gaming but mostly CAD and Solidworks use.

    I would like a new card to have a DVI Output to make best use of
    my Samsung 172T Digital Monitor.

    Also I would like a card suitable to process High Definition content
    direct to my LG 32" LCD (while on the subject can anybody recommend
    the places to download HD material).

    The thing is dont want to spend much, just a suitable upgrade from existing
    I would appreciate anybody's help.

    What is your ideal budget?
    What sort of gamer are you? Do you want to play the newest games at high res? Or just RTS and RPG's?

    You could get away with something like 9800Pro for <£40 second hand, they are a nice card for the money, and will give you DVI (but please check it does have a DVI before purchasing!), and playability at the 1300x760 type res of HDTV's.

    The 6800GS is a high end card in comparison, will be over £100, but well worth it if you really want to play an FPS at decent res. Will also secure you a bit more future-proofness.
