Default Convenient PCI-Express video card

My new A64 processor and a mainboard are on the way (should arrive tomorrow) and I have to get a new graphics card, too, as my AGP card won't do anymore (damn new expensive mobos without AGP).
Please suggest a suitable PCI-Express graphics card.
P.S: I only do A/V editing, no games, 3D graphics etc.!

Probably something like an ATI Radeon X300 should do, if you're not doing any games. Sapphire do a good range, but watch out of the cards that actually have half the memory on teh card, and use the other half from the system RAM!

Thanks for the input Mike. I seem to have solved my problem today, as my package arrived and I was stupefied to find another mainboard than what I had ordered... :lol: :lol: :lol:
Anyway, it's got the same options as the one I wanted, and I still get to keep my GeForce4 !
