I lasted about 6 years on a Geforce FX 5200 AGP8X card before I went to dual monitors and Windows 7, and it wasn't up for the task. I'm now on a Geforce 6200 AGP 8X that cost me about $45. It is not superb, but it is decent enough. Inventor 10 runs fine on most machines. I'm finding that the newest versions of Inventor and especially Solidworks are absolutely terrible on anything but the latest, best, and most expensive hardware.
Those are desktop video cards...
