I want to get a new video card for my wife's computer. We don't play games on it, but do some dvd burning and watching dvds. She has a SIS 64 mb 315 card in there now and I want to upgrade her to a 128 or 256 card.
I don't care if it is ATI based or Gforce or whatever only want to stay under $80 us if possible. I saw so many cards on newegg that fit the bill but I want your opinion on what is the most bang for the buck w/ good quality and reliability.
The processor is a 900Mz Duron and she has 512mb of pc133 ram. I am also considering upgrading her processor as it can take up to a 1500 athlon cpu and then switch to 512 of ddr 2700 ram as the board has 4 slots depending on the processor installed. If there is a reliable place to get a athlon 1400 or 1500 cpu let me know. Or, if anyone has an old one laying around that they would sell or give me I would pay the shipping.
Thanks.
