You can get them at a wide range of prices. Just looked at Amazon and found cards for $35 and cards for $350. The majority run less than $150.

Yes it is odd, but I worked on frequency motor control systems that were as frustrating as weigh scale microprocessor glitches....

Sorry I'm late getting back to you. My monitor didn't agree with by IT guy's video card. Now I'm just using the integral card to the motherboard until I get a better card. 2.7 GHz AMD processor, 4GB ram, Windows 7 Prof operating system. I don't game. I use my home PC just for cruising the net and watching videos (YouTube, streaming, etc.).

Then it should be simple to get a cheap video card and not worry about it.
