Just about anything that works well for gaming should be fine. Matrox 
used to make cards that were designed to handle 2D imagery like 
Photoshop and CAD, but I don't know if they still do. ALl the 3D 
processing is kind of a waste unless Adobe is starting to harness the 
GPU for tasks.

AGP is getting harder to find new, you might need to buy a used card, 
which means you can probably afford even more onboard memory. Anyway 
Nvidia are decent, I think the Intel Mac Pro machine we put in last 
summer are Nvidia cards (but PCIx).
