Subject: [Digital BW] Need a Video Card Recommendation

I am running a PC at work on Windows XP Pro and am buying a new Samsung
LCD monitor. The old video card in my machine is analog and so I need
to buy a digital video card that will fit into an AGP slot.

My company is CHEAP (spelled with a capital "C"), so I need to keep the
price of the video card between $100 and $200. Will use for Photoshop,
InDesign, Illustrator, etc, and I don't care about video, gaming, 3D,
etc. I just want a decent card with at least 128MB RAM that allows me
to write to the VLUT and gives me at least 1600X1200 resolution.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Lou Dina
