I know this might seem like a strange request, but I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive graphics card that has emphasis on good 2d graphics. It's going to be for my wife's machine and she doesn't game. She'll need the card for web surfing, spread sheets/etc., and quite a bit of 2d rendering.
Her machine is an Asus P4T533-c that supports 4x AGP combined with a 2.53GHz cpu and 1gig of Kingston 1066 ram. The card will need a DVI output as she will be upgrading to a LCD monitor soon. TV tuner capability is not needed. I just started looking and ran across the following cards at relatively dirt cheap prices. If anyone has input about these cards or can offer advice on other inexpensive cards that meet her needs it would definitely be appreciated.
possible cards: Nvidia GeForce FX5200 or Nvidia GeForce MX400
Thanks,
Chuck
