Re: Sugestions For Video Card
ATI Radion 7500 and up all work wonderfully. Make sure it is made by and not powered by ATI! This is impotant.

Re: Sugestions For Video Card
The most cost effective one right now is a ATI Radeon 9200 with 128mb of Video Memory.

Re: Sugestions For Video Card
Correction:

The ATI card should be MADE BY ATI, not POWERED BY ATI as mentioned in a post above.

Powered models are not manufactured by ATI, but use some ATI components, and have been known to be troublesom at times.

Regarding the version of Direct X, I believe the 8.1 is the minimum for the 9200 video card to perform on, but it should run on any Direct X version of 8.1 or higher.
As each new Direct X version has come out, I've upgraded it and my older Radeon 7500 works just fine.
