I've had this computer for a year or two and want to either upgrade the graphics card or build a new system HD video can be choppy. I paid about $250 for it so I'm not looking to spend much. I'm using a 30" tv as a monitor and a small lcd screen as a second (using vga cables but the tv has HDMI ports). The computer has a pcie x16 slot probably 1.0. I like using dual monitors, needs to run HD video, starcraft2 and solidworks on xp. Any suggestions for a cheap graphics card I could get on Amazon or ebay?
