I've got a p2 350, 64MB Ram, win95.  I also have an "built in high
performance 64bit 3D AGP Graphics Accelerator with 8MB frame buffer".  This
thing is built into my mobo so I don't have an AGP port.  My question is
should I get an

a)  nvidia based TNT 2D/3D card
or
b)  3Dfx based voodoo 2 card
or
c)  3Dfx based banshee card
or
d)  none of the above

The onboard accelerator isn't very good.  At one point I had a voodoo1 and
3D games looked a hell of a lot better than they do now.  Any suggestions?
Any cards in particular (brands)?  Thanks in advance
