I have been researching all the PCI Express Graphic cards, and I'm really more confused now with which one I might should get.

Here's my setup: I've got a Gateway 420GR P4 that contains the Intel 915G chipset, and a PCI Express slot. The current graphics are the Intel GMA900 on-board.

I want dual-monitor support and from what I've read will have to disable the on-board graphics. I want a stable and sturdy card as I'm not into gaming, only doing video/photo editing projects.

I've looked into 3 different cards in the $200 price range. I don't want to exceed that because I just purchased my PC 2 months ago to add on to my home network.

The first one, recommended the most by many is:

ATI FireGL V3100

Saw a good deal on this one:

Radeon X300 PCI Express

or

Radeon X700 Pro Video Card, PCI Express

I want a good solid card that will be efficient with my system.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
