What graphics cards does everyone have if you've customized?

[complain jane]

Trying to decide what I need. I use a G5 dual 2.5 at work but they only ordered it with the base card in it (9600) and while RAM previewing some After Effects files with 3D moves and effects, it's verrrrry slow. The 9800 and the Ultra have to be faster, anybody using these?

1. Do you have enough RAM?

I have a dual 1.8ghz with just the stock GeForce 5200 card. It's plenty fast for me, though I primarily use FCP. Make sure you have enough RAM. I think that would be the determining factor in the speed of the previews. Also, you can up the memory cache in the After Effects preferences.
