Any reason to upgrade video card?

Happy New Year everyone.

I recently purchased an Eizo CE210W to replace my dying LaCie EB4 CRT. So far so good, especially after calibrating and profiling using the Color Navigator software and the puck from GMB's eye-one display 2. Haven't done any serious printing with it yet, but I see no reason to be apprehensive.

The computer it's attached to is an early G5, single 1.8 processor, with 3.5Gigs ram and running OS 10.4.8; the computer shipped a GeForce FX 5200 video card.

Anyone see a compelling reason to change it? I'm only doing PS editing and photo printing, no animation or 3-D or video. If it ain't broke, I don't think I'm gonna fix it. And I imagine that sooner rather than later the entire G5 will be replaced.

Thoughts? Thanks very much.

Ciao Tutto

Ron

Unless you need to run Aperture, which does some of its processing on the video card, or unless you want to add a 30" LCD, which requires dual-link DVI (not to be confused with dual DVI, which is simply two DVI ports), there's no compelling reason to upgrade.
