Gettin a relyable vcard is quite important for me, being a CM...U know, gettin a system freeze few seconds before the start of an event its no good both for me and many other chaps... Gimme a good advice as soon as possible  :).
            Thanks a lot in advance

I have this card and have not had any probs. It is in a win2k (sp2) system with the latest MS patch and the latest ATI drivers on a via chipset with the latest 4in1 drivers.  Your system specs may make a different card the best for you.

Is price an issue?

The ATI Radeon DDR is not a bad choice.

The other option is the GeForce 2.  If you can, get a regular GeForce 2, not an MX.  The GeForce 2 Pro or Ultra would be best, but failing that go with the Radeon.  IMHO.

Of course, this is assuming a GeForce 3 isn't an option due to price.  :)

What Lephturn said.  Don't know what you can get away with.

Geforce 2 Ultra - 64 MB DDR RAM
Geforce 3 would be really cool

Bear in mind that what we are saying only relates to the chipset and memory onboard.  Each manufacturer will have their versions of the card with the above chipsets and memory.  I haven't followed Geforce card reviews lately so I can't offer any opinions.

You might try looking over the nVidia website and browse their products / reviews section.

Good Luck!
