I just bought the Dazzle Digital Video Creator 100 and now need to get
a new graphics card since mine doesn't support 24 bit.  I'm using Windows
XP Home Edition, P4 1.5 motherboard/cpu, WD 80 gig harddrive with 8MB
buffer, and  1.0 MB of Ram.

Since I will be editing videos, I really want a card that would make
video editing fast and easy.  Price is a concern for me but I don't want to
make my job harder (or the quality inferior) by getting a cheap card.

I've been considering ati 128MB DDR Radeon 8500LE or the 9000LE.  It almost appears that the 8500LE is better if I understand the specs right.  Is the ati more than I need (or not enough)?  Is 128MB DDR more than necessary?  Or, will any gaming card work?  Any suggestions at all will certainly help in my research.

Thanks in advance.
