I am recieving a project shortly and the project was done using WildFire 2. I am currently use a Dell m620 workstation 1 ghz processor with 1g of RamBus and a Elsa Gloria II pro 64mg of Video ram. I have learned resently that WF2 doesn't support Elsa Gloria II Pro graphics card. The question is can I replace the graphics card and maybe get another year use from the computer. The current design has about 100 parts. If the graphics card can be replaced - can you recommend a graphics card within a $500 to $700 dollar range. I just paid my PTC maintence and money is TIGHT.
Thanks in advance. Texaspete

I'm using the VP880 Pro and it works like a charm.....I have about three hundred parts in my upper-level assembly.

I would wait to upgrade the entire machine. If you do not have an AGP slot you will not be able to find a card that will work in your new machine. Wait and see how bad the Gloria II is with WF2. If it doesn't work look at either a new machine for $1,200 to $2,000 or get a Geforce video card for $100. Even looking at a Geforce you will have a hardtime finding one with PCI.
