Desktop graphics systems are commodity items nowadays, and have been for some years; about the only application that can tell the difference between a $5 graphics chip, a $50 graphics board from NVidia or ATI and the top-of-the line subsystem is a real-time 3D graphics-intensive game. (And even there the $10 chips in an X-Box or PS/2 do pretty darn well). For $80 you can get a graphics card that supports multiple monitors at insane resolutions, has 128MB of on-board graphcs memory, and even TV. (State-of-the-art, nowadays, appears to be a $600 water-cooled card with 256MB of RAM clocked at over 1GHz. That's getting pretty silly)
