best video card for autocad

can anybody tell me which video card is the best for using autocad, i,m thinking about buying a 5150 with 512 memory, 64 ge force viedo card, i had a 5100 with 512 memory and 32 meg viedo card and it didn't do so good with cad, the cursor would blink and flicker,

well... the nVidia quadro series was made for that sort of stuff.

the dell precision work station m60 comes with the quadro fx 128mb.

Having had a look at the INFs for 56.54 I see that in the Dell one there is a Quadro FX go1000.
With the following PCI-ID and Subsys:

%NVIDIA_NV36.DEV_034C.1%  = nv4_WSApps_NV36,                   PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_034C&SUBSYS_019B1028
%NVIDIA_NV36.DEV_034C.2%  = nv4_WSApps_NV36,                   PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_034C

If you want AutoCAD to fly get this baby, it will be worth the wait, and money ?
Looks to be the same Subsys as the M60/i8200, or could there be a M70 on it's way.
