When you look to buy a new piece of comp hardware, the price should be the
main point. Top of the range card at the mo is the GeForce 2, with the plain
GeForce 1 being the best midrange (NVidia does have a new, low end, card
coming out - at about 150USD with near GeForce 1 capabilities). Having said
this, EQ seems to have been built with Glide in mind (only available on the
Voodoo  cards) and people have reported better than expected with this over
DirectX.
I would like to see reports back on the whole range of cards outthere -
should really be on one of the websites methinks <g>
