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.)
