Personally upgrading video systems is the #1 most cost effective thing.
Followed closely by a better keyboard. Too bad nobody makes a really good
keyboard anymore.

If I had teenage eyes I wouldn't need better quality.

Most older cards can't handle what I consider high resolution. At least not
in ways I'd want to look at the screen. When this monitor dies I'll seriously
consider a 21" monitor or bigger. I'll want a card that can drive that at
higher then 1280x1024 and do it well.

$50 Canadian.
