That video card should be ideal for all the purposes you list. assuming it is functioning correctly. What kind of problems are you having that you think a video card will help?

Thanks GX1,

I am  not really having any problems, but I have  noticed that I cannot run certain screensaveers (ie: the underwater marine and similair), the screensaver freezes up and I was unable to unfreeze w/out unplugging the pc.

Also, I have a brand new monitor (less than a year old) and it already has some "liquid" movement on the screen.  I didn't know if a better graphics/video card would help that out.  I read the instruction manual for the monitor and  have the refresh rate at the recommended level, and I believe I  have the  current drivers for it.

Most of my peripherals are new, and my hard drive/cd rom player and I just wanted to add a  new video card if possible.

Thanks again.  Happy Easter.
