    Hello,

    Can anyone recommend a somewhat high-end PCI graphics card costing $500
    or less that would give me good SolidWorks performance? I would
    probably use it with a Pentium 4-based system with at least 1 GB of RAM
    and maybe a RAID array.

    Thanks for any advice.

    In the STAR bench mark tests I have actually seen that 2GB of Ram will
    give more performance than the RAID.

    Also for less than 500 the FX 500 is a good card but we just bought a
    FX2000 which is double the video RAM for under 500. It is closer to
    $500. The FX500 you can probably get for around $200.
