It depends on your system specs. No reason to get anything faster than a geforce2 gts if you're still running PC133 SDRAM on anything under 1800GHz. Why not try searching google in the appropriate groups, or posting specs. I have been noticing those brownbag gf3 ti200's going for $60-70 shipped 'buy-it-now' on ebay. That seems like a good deal. I've got a GF4 ti4200 128MB - to do it all over, I'd have gotten 64MB golden sample gainward model instead (funny thing - these gf4 vid cards are still going for the same price they did over 6 months ago - interesting). Avoid the geforce MX's like the plague! Also, I'd avoid that ATI shit - way overpriced, and lots of driver/compatability issues... S.P.
