Don't waste your money on the gforce 2.  Go right to the gforce 3.

The used shops around here wouldn't take my Geforce 2 64MB or my Voodoo 3
hehe. Good Luck. I definetly agree, I'd go for a Geforce 3 or one of the
Geforce 4 low end models before I would go for the Geforce 2. Splurge! Go to
www.nvidia.com and DL the latest. I don't use too many beta drivers. They
always have some quirk with them without much of a performance increase.
IMHO

Any version of the Geforce2 GTS is faster than any variation of the Ge2 MX.
As for Visiontek, the company makes reference boards for nVidia, so quality
of the components (e.g. memory and VGA filters) is pretty much guaranteed.
Use the latest drivers posted on nVidia's website (currently 23.11) and stay
away from the "leaked" drivers floating elsewhere, and you should be fine.

Thanks for the info on visiontek. My son and I are going to buy a
replacement for  his stb velocity board. I saw the visiontek at best buy and
will probably buy one this weekend. My voodoo 3000 still works fine and it
is time for him to upgrade his video board. Thanks

nVidia's drivers have gotten terrible. Nothing after 21.83 works right, yet
only the 27.xx offer all the features (nView). If it's not too late I'd
suggest you back out and get some ATi Radeon 7500's - much better cards,
better video quality (2D and 3D), and, amazingly enough given ATi's
history - superior drivers.
