Get the cheapest geforce 3 you can. I suggest the Visiontek (I HAD one) as their service was good and card overclocked well.

Still say save yourself the money and buy one when there's a game you could run that will benefit from its features.

well the gigabyte gf3 is only 267 retail... just as much if not cheaper then the visiontek.. plus its blue, and it'll match my gigabye mobo :)

you have my permission ;).

They made most geforce 3 cards equal, some have faster memory then others which helps when overclockcing, but otherwise don't worry about prices, features, or brands (OK, maybe not PNY or powercolor, or Joe's Garage brand).
