I need a new PCI Express graphics card, I do not game, and I don't have built in Video. I mainly do photo editing, Watch DVD's, and surf the web. I run Windows XPsp2 and I have a Viewsonic 19" widescreen LCD running 1440x900

I would like something passive and was looking at the following cards at Newegg.

7300GT link
730GS (10 dollars cheaper then the GT) Link
8400GS Link

that is a nice 7300GT, get it. It will offer the best perforamance out of all three. You might, however, want to get a fan to place by it or one with a fan as the heatsink-only cards can get quite hot, even at idle.
