Media Center Graphics Card

[ding5550123]

I am building a system for my church that will be responsible for displaying ALL digital media. It will have to run large power points and videos seamlessly. It also needs to be able to run Multiple Monitors. It needs to be compatible with DVI-D for the projector. I would like tips on what to look for, not necessarily cards themselves. I will purchasing from a local store (Ribbit Computers in Wichita) they do not have an online store yet. Price range is anything below $150.

ATI 3450?

How many monitors do you need? Also, what quality videos? HD? And would you be running different videos on the different monitors? If you have $150, it may be worth it to get a bit better card than the 3450, like the 3650 or Nvidia 8600gt/9500gt.

it will be running 2 monitors. one monitor will be the windows desktop so the controller can cue items, and the other will be the projector's feed (spit to accommodate another physical monitor). The videos will be HD.
