    I'm about to purchase a new video card, but would appreciate opinions.

    Computer: dual Athlon MP 1.2 on Tyan 2460 mobo (all AMD set), 1GB ram
    OS: Win2kp
    Apps: Acad 2005 (lots of solid modeling), Photoshop (photo editting),
    occasional ADT & viz render, some rudimentary Inventor

    Must have VIVO (not for anything serious, just playing VCR, some
    digitizing)

    Intended expense: approx. US$200 (could be talked into slightly more)

    From what I've read, any GeForce FX5xxxx seems a good choice. Am I on
    the right track? Also, what's with the TI4200 chipset? How does it
    fit into spectrum of w/ what's available today, or is that last year's
    news? Finally, are Radeons still to be avoided for cad?

    Thanks in advance,
    James
