| When did getting a new monitor ever require an OS as well as a VGA upgrade? 
I am sorry, I am totally lost. Perhaps I am a bit out-dated and out of touch with the current technology trends. Please fill me in. |

Perhaps I am a bit out-dated and out of touch with the current technology trends. Please fill me in. I know I'm out of date (on hardware issues especially)--that's why I come to DSL Reports. So many knowledgeable people who are willing to share what they know and their opinions. I can read, learn, and decide what is important to me.
I plan to do some video editing when I retire--but, who knows when that will be! I will probably either have to buy a new system them or upgrade my current one--when the time comes. But, that's several years away (at least).

Op asked for a new VC and KW stated it would be better if the OP got a new system because they had an AGPx8 slot. I just wanted to show that there was very good cards in the AGP range.

| what program(s) does your friend use? that might be his biggest issue. if using a newer version of Photoshop, it would probably be more economical to get a new system, minimum dual core.
otherwise I think you should be able to get a Nvidia 6800 card for a decent price, but I don't think it is really going to help them all that much if they are concerned about the slowness of photo editing.
