I thought I should ask those who are using 'em, before spending a whole lot
of time on matrices comparing features/etc.

Given that she's got a Voodoo 3000 PCI, and is on a 950MHz Athlon machine,
anything that gives 3D, has more than 32MB, and is AGP sounds like a good
bet, doesn't it?

What's your favorite GF3 card then?

ATI All-in-Wonder 128 Pro here.  AGP on a 800MHz AMD.  No problems past the
inevitable initial tweaking - and an old motherboard failure - as readers of
this ng will remember!

"Golden Sample Gainward"?   Taiwan, huh?  :)  Your advice against the MXs is
echoed elsewhere in this thread, and heeded.  Thanks for the help!
