New Win7 video card for Mom

I put one of these in an older socket A system Athlon XP 2400+ with only 768mb RAM and it was very impressive what that system could do. It probably means skipping a lot more lunches than you want to go without. Still this thing is a great card. AGP 3850

Adding a second PCI gfx card with DVI for dual display

Heres an AGP card with dual DVI, that is similar to what your already running. XFX GeForce 6800 Xtreme / 256MB GDDR3 / AGP 8x / Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Don't if that is too expensive, as PCI cards seem to be pretty pricey as well.

Thanks for the comparison sheet on the ATI cards, ADDAvenger. That helps a lot. I'll probably steer towards a mid nvidia card such as the 7600 series.

Yeah, I didn't think of it as overkill, certainly could get into a card that would support his needs for 30 or 40 less. Thanks to point that out Zebo.

The availability of the 7800 chipsets are limited in PCI-e. On newegg they have some Recertified Video Cards The price is right but they come with limited warranty and seems that EVGA is very loose on the term "recertified" reading some of the commentsmade in the reviews....

I ran across this card on newegg the other day and noticed a small blurb that it supported DX10. You can view the specs HERE. It seems in my opinion that this would not have the ability to operate DX10 at its optimum, just curious and thought I would put this out here. That is if anyone...

ATI chipset which video card ATI or Nvidia

If you have an ATi Radeon Xpress Chipset for your mainboard, are there advantages or disadvantages if you go with another brand of a PCI-e video card? Or does it not make any difference at all? Are there potential conflicts if you go with an Nvidia video card with an ATi chipset?

Thanks for the tips. I will have to try the isopropyl alcohol and water, water alone is not cutting it. If that doesn't work then maybe a non ammonia windex. The screen doesn't appear to be embossed by the ball point pen. So if I can get the ink removed, without too much damage, I'll be in...
