Criteria:
Working with a 17in mon (your standard 12x10) and a 37 in TV. Unknown brand and model at this time. Assuming 13x7 up to 25x16.
400W PSU, no real gaming intentions, going to be all VM work.
Under 200 not including MIR

I'm thinking a 4850 should be able to knock this out of the park.

Any recommendations. Maybe even a 9600? or 4830?
 
- What 400W PSU do you have?
- What do you mean by "no real gaming intentions"? Do you mean no gaming at all or a little gaming here and there?
 
No gaming besides Star Craft, Diablo, maybe some old school Quake or Doom.
400w generic Gateway PSU (Quard core, 4 gigs yadda yadda yadda)

I think he is going to snag a 9600 see how it works. The guy is going to upgrade when SC2 comes out.
 
4850 is the most you will need. Might even be able to settle for a good 9800 GT for cheaper.
 
he didnt even list the rest of his specs. its silly to make recommendations when you dont even know what the rest of pc consists of. come on OP you have been here for over 3 years and you should know the drill by now. :p
 
Its for a friends machine in California; I'm in Texas. So yeah :D
Q6600
4 gig DDR2 800
Mobo: no idea
400w PSU, not sure about brand


I think it has dual ISA slots. HAR HAR HAR!

Just confirmed: He will be buying a 9600 and upgrading for SC2.
