Thanks for all your suggestions and being generous with your experience!
Valset, you're right, the Palit 9600GT Sonic edition looks perfect and is loaded with ports-
2 x DVI-I, HDMI, DisplayPort, and the SPF.
I do have one bigger question, though.
My P5RD2-VM motherboard's built-in ATI...
Nice suggestion. They have the same card, but with 1gb memory for $15 more. Oh, and no free shipping on it add another $7. Is it worth $22 for the 1gb?
Also, it says it takes a 6-pin power connector? I guess it doesn't derive it's power from the board slot? What does this mean?
Am going blind trying to find the best card for my new Sun 24.1" monitor.
What I've got-
Windows XP Pro, P5RD2-VM mobo w/2gb ram, onboard graphics,PCI-E slot, 550w power supply.
Sun X7203A 24.1" w/DVI-D port
What I want-
1. Card w/DVI port for straight digital connection to monitor...
