Hello Peeps
I have a Dell Studio 540 system with integrated Intel i915(?) graphics
controller. The system works well, but I am wondering if it would
benefit from an upgrade? I am looking at purchasing an NVIDIA card,
but I am somewhat lost as to which one. I am not too bothered about it
being the best on the market, I am not a gamer, but I would like it to
perform well at HD media playback and possibly recording some
screencasts.
Any help with this would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks,

Rob's suggestion sounds good.
For the record, I'm not a gamer either, but use an NVIDIA 8600GT with
two monitors on a twinview set up. I had quite a few problems setting it
up, but eventually got it working with the proprietary drivers and a lot
of fiddling. I'm happy to give you a few pointers, but it may not be the
best choice for a straight forward set up. It seems other cards work
much easier out of the box. It does work well with HD media.
All the best,
Tim
