Video Card

I'm building a computer for my wife. Because of some of the CAD work
she does, its necessary to use a video card with accurate color
rendering. The build will use an ASUS A8N-VM CSM (939 board) with
on-board video. I know from first hand experience that the color is not
all that accurate, but OK for my own use. But IMO, not good enough for
the boss.

The bottom line is that I'm looking for a PCI-Express 16X video card for
her system. I'd like to keep the price of the card below $100 (newegg
or zipzoomfly pricing). I'm stingy and don't want to share memory even
though the system will have a gig. Other critical components include a
San Diego 3700 and a couple of WD2500KS drives (not RAID anything).

Any suggestions?

Since you seem to have all of the questions, you should easily find the
answers on your own. You know what you don't want and what you want - go
get it.

From Toms Hardware
Geforce 7300 GT GDDR3
Codename: G73, 90 nm technology
Eight Pixel shaders, Four Vertex shaders, Eight Texture units, Eight Raster
operations processors
128 bit memory bus
500 MHz core, 700 MHz GDDR3 (1000 MHz Effective) Memory

Not to be confused with the slower DDR2 Version of the 7300 GT, the GDDR3
equipped 7300 GTs are pretty darn quick; they at least keep up with the 7600
GS. It holds up well against the X800 GTO, and is another great sub-$100
choice that can make a cheap gaming rig a reality.

You make a good point. I should create a large sig as well. Since
pretty much everyone is on broadband, it doesn't matter as much as it
did a few years ago.

It certainly doesn't matter to me. Putting the quotation below the sig
marker is beyond stupid, on the other hand.

Maybe it was just a top post. That doesn't matter much anymore either
as long as the messagee gets across. In this case he did get the
message across.

Is there some point to this anality?

Yeah, the point is that good newreaders automatically leave off the
signature when you followup a post. I'm sure you'll now tell me that that
doesn't matter much anymore either and the newsreader should just quote
everything (or nothing) or make you highlight what you want quoted, in
which case I'll simply chalk you up as yet another very unimaginative
Usekook with a pathological need to gratify his ego by refusing to
consider the usefulness of any standard he didn't start out using when he
got his first 1008 free hours on AOL.

Yeah, you're right. I'm a newby. Only been using usenet since 1993.

BTW, do you think anybody cares about your opinion?

Yep, you're right. This is usenet. Its not the message that counts,
its the format.

Someone probably does. Maybe my mom or my dog. Oh, and you apparently have
some interest in it.

Its obvious that YOU don't get it!!

Its the message, stupid. Not the form!!

The form obviously matters in how well the message gets across and how
easily others can reply to the message and include pertinent quotations for
the benefit of readers. A Usekook such as yourself will never understand
such concepts.
