enter this in the search field at the top:

geforce gts 64 ddr 350

This will bring up only records that match geforce (adding the 2 is useless at it
ignores it and brings up regular geforce originals anyway), gts (which cuts out
the older model), 64 (megs of RAM), ddr (so it doesn't list the ones with slower
SDRAM), and 350 (for the 350MHz RAMDAC, which is what moves the pixels out to the
monitor). Prices range from $322 to well over $400.

The GeForce 256 is a graphics chip, the GeForce2 is its little (but more powerful)
brother.

Nvidia makes the Georce chips.

Several companies make GeForce-based cards (and GeForce2-based ones)

3Dfx is the manufacturer of all voodoo chips, and they are also the manufacturer
of all boards that use the newest chips, although other companies used to make
boards with older versions of the voodoo chips.
