Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. When this cab gets sold I plan to donate to the cause either way, I thought about using an AVGA, but I hate ATi cards (especially their driver software package)

Hi all,
I'm currently sourcing parts for my first build i will eventually buy the makvison tri mode arcade monitor but for the time being I'll be using a Lg LCD TV. Was just wondering what is the best performing graphics card i can get for my system? I'm currently thinking of buying this;

And is soft15hz the best to get or groovymame? I've been reading through this forum & I'm still confused on this subject? I know groovymame has issues with windows 7 and is limited to ATI HD series 4xxx cards. Dose soft15hz have these same issues? And what would be the easiest to setup for a complete noob!
Sorry for any repetitive questions complete noob! Any advise/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

On my first project and am still learning all of this...
Not sure what I am doing wrong. I followed the instructions (or at least I think I did). So using Soft15khz, I install the 15khz option for my card NVIDIA Geforce 6200 then using XP QuickRes, I change the resolution to 640 X 480 @60hz and power off the computer. I disconnect my computer monitor and connect my arcade monitor (Sharp Image SI 327DS) to the DVI port with adapter. I power on the computer and wait for a couple of minutes (for windows to boot to the desktop) before turning the monitor and I get the dreaded split screen effect. Which by reading through the forum, means that it is not running at 15khz.
So I am not sure what the problem is. Is my card not compatible. It is not on the list. Did I just missing a step somewhere? For instance, am I suppose to have the computer boot into MAME instead of the desktop? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
Malenko:
did you install quickres? double click it, it goes to the system tray, right click that to set a resolution
gonzalma:
I appreciate the reply but yes as stated I did use Quick Res to set the 640 X 480. I went under the assumption that that my current graphics card is not compatible. I went ahead and bought a Ati 9600 Pro off of ebay for 20 bucks. I know that this card is compatible and I get the more then 30 different resolutions that NIVIDA cards are limited too. Everything else on my machine is done so hopefully in a week I will finally have a fully working system.
