no offense, but 1) shoulda posted this in the Desktops forum and 2) what's your price range? the absolute best thing would probably be the best nVidia Quadro FX card, otherwise i would recommend the ati radeon x800xt platinum or nvidia geforce 6800ultra extreme.

what programs? Typically OXGL cards and Nvidias Quadros perform best here. Try to stay away from FireGL cards

what's up with those anyway? i've never seen a system with one except for soem alienware workstation and the thinkpad T42. and here i was thinking OpenGL was a thing of the past!

Yes for graphic design/3D I would only buy a nVIDIA card. They currently out-perform everything else. They are both more optimized for and more stable in OpenGL. If you don't want to shell out $$$ for a high end workstation card, a solid geforce should do just fine.

considering that a 6800 ultra is only ~$200 less than a quadro 1100, why not go for one of those? both offer pretty respectable performance IMO in both gaming and the design stuff that your doing.
