A Challenge!
Well, the Tikiman and I are always battling it out as to what video cards are better. Well, I’d like to hear what card he thinks is the best for regular people (non gamers) and why. My personal opinion is as follows:
I like the HIS ATI Radeon X800XL IceQ II 256MB (256bit) GDDR3 PCIe DVI &TV. First of all it won’t cost me an arm and a leg to buy it (its around $120 after the rebate). Also, it comes with a VGA port to connect to my older analog monitor, and a DVI port to connect to my newer digital monitor. Not only that, it comes with a cable so that I can connect my HDTV to my computer. It will keep my computer nice and cool because it has its own cooling system. And if I decide to get two, then i can crossfire them together for even better performance. Also, it has an ATi chipset. We all know that ATi stands for the best.
So, what have you to say, my little friend?

Jordan,
I agree, that is probably the best card for the price for us non gamers. The thing is, this card is even ideal for married gamers (aka gamers on a budget) because it has more than enough onboard memory for high performance games and all the other functionality that you mentioned for a really nice all-around entertainment experience. you have my vote.
