I would think any NVIDIA or ATI  AGP adapter with 256 MB RAM would be fine.
A scratch disk and lots of RAM is more important for Photo editing. High
end graphics cards are more for gaming and Video editing than image editing.
My 128 MB GeForce 400 suits me fine.
You may have a choice of PCI express, with which I have no experience,
but CNET has several reviews:  www.cnet.com
