Hi I want to purchase a graphics card for a pc that i will be using Server software on.

ie. Server 2008 and other virtual Servers.

So I dont need to be a massive spec card for gaming.

Just something to support 1280.

What would you suggest?

Thanks

ANY card will do that and even a motherboard with on board video will more than suffice, pick up something with 256 megs of ram that fits in your slot ant you'll be good to go.

I,m looking at an ASUS P6 so there is no onboard GPU.

I was thinking at this but dont know if I would get heating problems as it is passive cooled.

the 4350 does not get hot, I installed one in my dad's PC and the thing never gets above 50c with a passive heat sink.
