    I am open to suggestions on a video card choice to use with Adobe PhotoShop and Corel Draw Programs. Perhaps what I have, 16MB NVidia Diamond Viper, is adequate for these programs. Advise?

    This can open a barrel of worms:) Your card is really fine for what you seem to be doing. A super fast gamers card is NOT ness here & will just cost lotsa $$. If you have a Pent 500 or eqiff then perhaps an AGPX4 w/32 ram would be nice to redraw faster. My wife is into foto's to tv (vcr tape) & uses the SIS 315 w/64 ram & S-vhs out. Cost a modest $45

    That card would be 'adequate' if you don't intend to do anything else. But if you ever want to play a 3D game you will be SOL. I would suggest buying at least a nVidia Geforce2 with 32 MB of RAM. It will work well with your photo programs and then some.

    I am sure you can find one for <$75.
