Hi,
I am building a new system and still hesitant what Video Card to go with, here is my system:

-Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

-ASUS P5Q Pro

-Antec P182 Case

-OCZ Platinum XTC PC2-8000 4GB 2X2GB

-Corsair HX620W

Preferably a low end video card (Max $100), I am not a big gamer.

What do you guys think about the: EVGA E-GEFORCE 8500GT 450MHZ 512MB ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Currently 19" (Would probably go for a 24" in the future or two 19" )
I don't play games. (Once in a while I might try a game or two).

This would be your card then:

It's not fast but the extra memory may help with dual monitors. Faster than the 8500GT anyway.
