Inventor computer hardware

What moderately priced video card are most people using now for IV? What sort of monitor specs are needed?
My company wants to upgrade my system, as right now I have an on-board video card and a 17" LCD monitor which I find quite uncomfortable to use?
Thx
Kev

In Inventor click Help / Graphics Drivers & check out the Inventor certified
cards. I think most people here use nVidia Quadro FX cards. I'm surprised
you got Inventor to run with onboard video.

Bigger is better. Dual 19" monitors will pay for themselves.

AGP? Get a Quadro 980XGL - It's faster than an FX1000.

You can get 'em on ebay for about $150.

Just make sure that the seller guarantees IN WRITING against DOA (dead on
arrival). This saved my but one time.

PCI-E? Get a Quadro 1400 for about $300

PCI-Express is the new whizbang thing, but AGP will get you quite a ways
still.
