I would also ask whether you plan to game with the video card, in which case the Matrox would not do (they're only good for 2D work).

The Radeon cards offer good 2D and 3D for about the same price as the Geforce. You may want to look into those too.

i would need the card not for games and i need it because my tnt2 card cant handle the fsb (i think) and the card itself sucks soo
my max money too spend would be 70-90$ or is it not enough for a "good" card, i dont need the best of the best so...

Guess a cheaper Matrox or Radeon 32MB DDR LE card from www.newegg.com should do. they're in that price range

The Matrox g450

ATI RADEON VE 32MB DDR DUAL VGA DISPLAY 4X AGP - RETAIL

are the best 2D cards on your list, but the ATI will play games relatively well too, the matrox not at all... but for pure 2D, get the Matrox. I'd avoid geforce cards, good for gaming but not for 2D.

I'd avoid the VE too, unless you need Dualhead.

I say go with the LE. It has T&L (which VE doesn't) and is the same price as the VE. It will play games well. I have one.

I thought the VE allowed you to enable hyper-Z ??

No Pink thats the LE.

VE has hyper z enabled already I believe.

But the VE isnt a gaming card.

Go with the LE Haik.
