Hey all. Christmas is around the corner and i wanna buy my dad a Graphics Card because he is a draftsman and he uses graphics intense programs and hehas a Voodoo 4 4500 right now and I would like to get him a new one because he complains. So a few quick things...
1. He has a RADEON TV-TUNER card in his comp now too, say if I got him an nVidia Graohics Card, would there any problems/conflicts with the RADEON?
2. Do I have an suggestions for a good one preferably under $100 (mind you I don't have a job and I still have to buy something for mom and sis so I'm on a budget).

1. I don't know.
2. The ATI Radeon 7500 is under $100 bucks, my dad has one, and it's a heck of a lot better than a Voodoo 4. If you buy this, you won't have the #1 problem. If you want to pay $100-$130 (check www.newegg.com), (http://www.newegg.com),) get the ATI Radeon 7500 All-In-Wonder, it has a great TV tuner in it.

If it is just a TV Tuner, not a videocard/tv tuner combo, there will be no conflicts whatsoever. I have an ATI tv tuner in my comp now, and runs fine next to my GF3.
