Can you help me to select a good PCI graphic card?

I was thinking in a GF2MX, but I have an open mind.

Need to have an acceptable performance with games.

I don't know when they stopped making PCI cards (that were worth snot)... I think the voodoo cards were the last of the great PCI cards, I think ALL newer cards (and geforce cards) are AGP.

My pci Radeon 32mb sdr is a great card, ive pushed it to 193/193 safely, voodoos are also great cards, most which ive seen go to 191 no problem. the gf2 you have picked out is probably one of the best pci cards you can get

A few GF2 MX's in PCI form factor do exist, Visiontek makes one. I dunno how much performance loss is inherent to running on the PCI vs. AGP bus. I imagine that it's noticeable.
