I am going to convert my main home desktop from windows to linux.  This 
will also involve getting a new system unit.  My question is what are 
the groups recommendations for a reasonably priced video card for that 
system.  I am looking at a Athlon 2800 or something like it for the 
processor and I'd like to get a video card that will keep the 
performance of X apps up.  I just want to run office type apps and 
web-browsing and email, no linux games.  Also, is anyone running quicken 
under Wine or win4lin or something.  Does it work right?

I tried to search the archives as I remember this being asked before, 
but I'm having problems with the searcher (See previous post).

Thanks.
