Hi Steve, well, there's no sense going for a $400 high-end gamer's performance card. You may be interested in taking a look at this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... For $100 that's a heck of a lot of performance, uses NVidia chip (which I prefer over ATI), 560 clock and 12 pipelines. Not bad for the price. Photoshop will fly on that card, and if your wife ever get into 3-dimensional rendering programs it has lots of power to do it.
