(OP)
Is it really necessary to buy a high end graphics card (SE v16) as recommended by the SE site, or will a "gaming" card do fine? Can someone recommend a decent card (+-$300)?
Thanks.
Thanks.

RE: Display Cards
Of those, I've used a GeForce2 MX440, GeForceFX5200, GeForceFX 5700LE, and QuadroFX 500. The Quadro card is within the US$300 dollar price range you are looking for, I believe. It is the professional level card the SE "requires" but I'll admit to only having problems with the GeForceFX 5200 and that's because it was the Dell version.
Depending on the complexity of your parts, the size of your assemblies, and the amount of data shown on your drawings, a GeForce level card won't be a problem. The biggest hang up is lingering geometry and slow transition between models and drafts when switching between open files.
Have you reviewed the SE site for graphics card recommendations yet?

RE: Display Cards
Thanks, yip been to the site. Thinking of getting a Dell workstation with a ATI FireGL V3100 card.
Question is, is Dell a good idea, seeing you had problems?

I think if we would by a Precision workstation rather than the cheap office app computer, we'd have better times.
