Hi

I am in the process of putting a computer price together and am wondering
what is the best "low end" 3d card to put in the system.

It is a Celeron 500 with 64MB RAM

Not an with an i810 chipset, so I am toying with idea of putting in either a

TNT M64 <AGP>

or

Diamond Stealth III 16 / 32MB <AGP>

or

<Any other suggestions>

It is just for basic game compatibility as I am sure the person will try
to plat games even though they say they wont...and the price difference
over a 2d card is minimal...

Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated

TIA

Ax
