Looks like folks are posting Hexagon threads here, so I will give it a go.

I need to upgrade my graphics card to one that uses open GL (the kind Hexagon wants). I have the demo and have ordered the program, but using it is hit or miss. I've used an ATI Radeon 8500, 128mg ram for a long time, but the new breed of open gl software does not like it.

I have the Hexagon demo and have ordered the program, but using it is hit or miss.

Any opinions about which card (practical, utilitarian) would work?

I'm not a gamer (no time)
I'm a professional illustrator running Rhino, FreeHand, PhotoShop, Carrara 4, Poser 6, Painter 9... I've had some issues with Poser and now with Hexagon, so I need to do something.

I have been looking at
ATI Fire GL T2-28
GeForce FX 5200 or whatever...

any ideas or suggestions would be welcome...
thanks,
Nate
