Hi, need a little advice here. I currently run a Matrox millenium 8Meg card with a Voodoo 2- 12Meg accelerator card, CPU is an AMD Athlon 500 and 256 Meg of RAM. I am thinking of upgrading the graphics but I heard 3dfx Voodoo cards are goning bust and that the would be little or no product support. So whats a good graphics card that won't break the bank? I was thinking about a Creative GeForce AGP 32Meg or is there something that is better? Any advice greatfully recieved Thanks, Frank

You can get a 32MB TNT2 Ultra nowadays for about $75. Great card. $25 more and you can get a GeForce2 MX. neopolaris "Frank Rodrigues" <Frank.Rodrigues@btinternet.com> wrote in message news:97egin$1oi$1@plutonium.btinternet.com... > Hi, need a little advice here. > > I currently run a Matrox millenium 8Meg card with a Voodoo 2- 12Meg > accelerator card, CPU is an AMD Athlon 500 and 256 Meg of RAM.
