Get the fastest ram your system will run.
If you want a card that is certified with Pro/e get a Quadro4 not a Geforce four. They will be faster espeacily with lines instead of shaded. The price of the 700 XGLKL which is what I bought for my system is $450 (www.pricegrabber.com)
If you want the lowest dolar aproach and are willing to use a game card get a Ti 4200 with DDR ram. The Ti 4400 will be a little faster but make sure it has the DDR ram. The Ti 4600 is about $100 more and is not worth the extra cost. I am not sure if you need 128 or 64 megs of ram.
This article will show you the speed difference between a game card and a quadro card.

Also check out the benchmarks and results at www.spec.org and http://utopia.knoware.nl/users/ocorten/
Olaf's bench is better because it runs pro/e not just a bunch of pictures.
This article is the best benchmark of videocards I have read.
