Both NVidia and ATI make good chipsets, but NVidia's utilities for managing
the display seem better organized and less buggy to me. However, NVidia just
sells chips, so you have to buy the board from some other company, and there
are lots of them. This means you have to decide what chip you want, how much
memory, and what interfaces, and then check everyone's specs.

Greg pointed out that 3D is useless for Photoshop, but even if you don't do
gaming, if you play with Google Earth as much as I do, a reasonably fast 3D
card will still be worthwhile, although you don't need anything
top-of-the-line.
