I was wondering about those cheap Oak cards.. wondered if they were 
faster than the mediocre Trident 8900C. 

If you want a cheap, fast board find something with the Tseng ET4000
chipset. If you want faster, get a Diamond Speedstar 24X. I've heard 
that there are problems with some of the drivers for the latter but
that will resolve itself in time.
