Hi all - Been lurking for a while, just decided to truly start trying to learn Maya. I have always had a passion for art, unfortunately I can not draw at all -- I currently am using a DELL 1.7MHz computer. I have Maya loaded up on it, and it "Lags" quite a bit. I figure my bottlenecks were my memory (Currently 512megs) and video card (128MB nViidia card for gaming)

I am looking to upgrade to 1gig memory, but drawing a blank on which type of video card to look for.. Anyone able to give me advice on a card that will handle maya well for under $600?

Thanks again!

Steven
