Non-gaming video card...Which one?

[groth2757]

I'm building a system for my father and he doesn't play games at all on the pc. I was looking at some of the nvidia MX series cards and they don't sound to bad. I'm looking for the best price/performance ratio. Thanks in advance!!!

if u don't want one for games, look for a tnt2 if u can find one, or go for an integrated one on the motherboard

i would go with a low end radeon.

my computer is so fast, it completes an endless loop in less than 4 seconds!

Get a MSI TNT2 M64 or MSI GeForce2 MX400 32 MB.

cirus logic all the way

I'd get a low end ATI or Matrox card in that circumstance.

The Matrox G550 is a pretty nice card for non-gamers. I'm using one in my main workstation and won't give it up for the world. Depending on what he does, he may like the dual-head features of the card. It's priced under $100, going slightly over with the optional TV adapter.
