2D quality over speed.. which card?

So I've got around £100 to spend (no more than £125 but the cheaper the better) and was wondering about getting a graphics card for my rig.

I'm currently using the onboard graphics of my GA-MA78GM-S2H (integrated Radeon HD3200) but want two digital outputs.

I'm driving a Dell ST2410 and a Samsung 19" Syncmaster 191T

Primarily I want the card for 2d stuff, web, programming, office type stuff so 2d and text quality is the priority. Gaming performance is desirable but not really a must.

So I considered grabbing another 3200 off Ebay or something to utilise the Crossfire aspect but I reckon I'm into £40 / £50 so may as well stump up the rest if the difference will be marked.

Anyone got any reccomendations or advice?

Cheers,

can you CF a card with the onboard gfx?

Yup, with this mobo I can crossfire with the onbaord.

The 5770 was one I was looking at so that's reassuring, cheers :)

I know what you guys are saying about Matrox, but, maybe it's just me, but that feels a bit too left field. Wouldn't mind being able to pick up a game every so often.

Is the link provided a particularly good 5770?

I should probably mention I've got a OCZ StealthXStream 600w

Is that up to the job?


Thanks again.
