    Adobe Suite

    I just completed a new build last week with the e 460. I only use CS3, and not every day, but everything seems to be working well, so that might be a good vid card for you without spending too much.

    One other thing I should point out is that we have a Blu Ray player that's on the same network. We don't use it a lot to dowload movies, but when we do it seems fine.

    I'll give that a try. I downloaded drivers from the DLink site, but didn't make a difference. Running speedtest, I got a score of .7, so I'll give Comcast a shout.
