You could go pick up a 64meg geforce4 mx for under $200 and when the geforce5 comes out, you could probably pick up the ti counterpart of the ge4 (128mg) for that ammount.

I have win2k and I have a geforce2 mx400 card, although it is AGP. I installed the drivers. I have no problems. The way that works is when I first loaded up Win2k the resolution was very poor and the colors very few and I couldn't increase them. After I installed the drivers the OS was able to communicate with the card so that the more advanced settings was possible. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 730 UGN Supporter | | UGN Supporter Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 730 | i used to have a problem with my HP(w/ winME) and voodoo3 3000. It was a very good video card but with my HP i would always start the pc up and get a windows protection error. I sold it to my friend and he got the same problem ... then he upgraded the drivers.
