Help me out here.

1. I want to upgrade my gfx card.
2. I am NOT a gamer, so incredible frame rates are not that important.
3. I want/need multi monitor support on the card
4. I need TV out (as well as 2x VGA or 1x VGA plus DVI)
5. I would like video in.
6. My motherboard is AGP 8x, and I don't really want to upgrade this as well.

Any suggestions? I'm currently running a very basic Radeon 9200, and altho' it has multi monitor support theoretically, I have no place to plug in the second monitor.
 
Lol, in that case from an NVIDIA perspective, anything above a 5600 should be fine...

Now it's ur turn to search for price, branding, speed, etc. :P

As little as possible! But preferably around R1000 - 1500, less is better. As I said, I'm not so concerned with anti-aliasing and 3-D performance as I'll be using it for business apps, video and photo editing.

6600GT VIVo is maybe a bit too expensive...over R2G AFAIK and X800 is more expensive...

Digital Planet has no stock of the 9600AIW...They offered me a 9800Pro for the same price,...but without VIVO :(.

I think I'll take up Person's offer. looks like the best deal for what I want.
