Default Graphics Card upgrade

Google for "dvi graphics card"

When you upgrade the whole system, you'll probably start
with a new mobo that will use PCI Express, so I wouldn't
worry too much about forward upgrades using the new graphics
card.

Consider what you need and want, such as TV in/out capture,
will it run your current monitor at the desired native
resolution?

Hello

Well pretty much www.ati.com and they make very good
cards, so any ATI card will work work for you, and then
if your not an ATI fan just go to nvidia both cards work great

You can get an nVidia GeForce FX 5200 at under $100 and it has DVI hookup;
Newegg.com has them, by various manuafacturers, all the same chipset
basically for $56 and up.... I paid almost $90 a few months ago...eVGA or
nVidia are just fine.
