All three ATI cards will do just fine. Just a matter of price. Really if they are going to do anything but surf the web, watch video clips, internet TV, etc. then I would just go with the cheapest.

I hear ya man. As of now all they are going to do is need a card to just output video. I'm just trying to think ahead. They are going from a P4 w/HT, 512mb RAM, and onboard intel crap VGA to a fast ass rig. I was thinking along the lines of long term since having a rig this fast will certainly expand their possibilities with computers vs their current setup. I found a cheap GT210 so I'm gonna go with that. I personally like ATI myself, but with the current bitching about shitty driver releases lately, I am gonna go with ncrap this time.

I would look to the 9600 GT

this card could give you a decent boint potencial for a quick session before you install it.

It would also do playback & give them good desk top preformance

O yea did I say great for a quick boint sesion .......... lmao
