I'm about to finalize my new AMD system (dual 1800 MP), but have one question left... Which video card?????

I'm going to be doing 60% video/photo editing, 20-25% 3-D work (like Bryce or Vue4 - NOT MAX4, can't afford it), and 15-20% games (like flight and racing sims).

What card would you recommend?

Thanks!

If you need the video inputs, I'd go with the Radeon 8500 All-in-wonder when it comes out (Or is it out already?)

60 FPS, 70 FPS, 80 FPS Crash!
Daylight comes and I have to go to work :frown:

I don't need any video in/out capability... I'm going to be using a dedicated firewire card for that...
