Lawless-- Seems like the GeForce 2 will be the way to go. If money is not an object, there is an "ultra" version of this card. Not sure if it's been released yet, but it's a 64 MB card that really smokes. It's in the $420 range, however...There is a lighter version of this card that's 32 MB, and still pretty nice at a mere $150. However, Creative Labs has the same chipset (GeForce) in a card called the Annihilator Pro, which sports a bit more speed for the same cost.(around $150 for 32MB card.)
