Go with the GeForce4 if you've got the cash, the 4600 is the top of the line and I believe that it has at least one DVI port. If you've got even more cash ( ~$950) check out PNY's quadro 4 card. It's a GeForce4 on steroids and has dual DVI out. I just got one and it is a serious ass kicker. Running some day job stuff on it and I am beginning to believe NVidia when they saw they are close to the level of a Wildcat card with the Quadro 4's. FYI, I've had some oddball compatability issues with the Radeon cards with my kids games and the like. FYI for all concerned. One of the differences between a Quadro and a regular GeForce is how they handle multiple windows up at once. A lot of the game cards are very powerful but internally they're really optimized to have only one main window in view. If you're going to be doing a lot of real work with multiple windows up at once, then forking a little more for a Quadro or equivalent high end card may be worth it. Depends on what you're going to be doing with it.
