building game server: gf2 GTS or radeon?

[h20link]

well i'm building a game server and i want to throw a low end card in, my budget is around 75 bucks. i can get a radeon 7500, gf2TI, gf4TI (not much difference between the two, is there?) gf2 GTS, radeon 32MB.......

The cheaper the better this card doesn't have to smoke i just want it to be good enough to serve games but at the same time i don't want something outdated. So what do you guys recommend?

I have a GF gts pro 64 ddr in my other machine and its a great card. I suggest that one. Excellent driver support and a great record to stand by.

If you're just setting up a server and you're not going to use it, get the cheepest card there that'll still serve its purpose.

Radeon7500....much faster than a GTS and a little bit faster than pro and ti with MUCH better image quality....

if you are building a dedicated game server the graphic card in it will not matter. heck a tnt2 would serve this purpose fine.

For a bit I was running a dedicated game server with nothing more than a Rage 128pro in it.

My suggestion save your money and buy LOTS of ram. the more you have the better.

Of course IMO.

yeah i should have mentioned that i'd like somebody to be able to play on it if necessary.......(for LAN parties at my house). I'm starting out w/ 512mb of pc133 and i'll add more later

In that case I'd second Funnyperson1's recomendation.

Radeon 7500 will server you better than any GeForce 2 GTS/Ultra/Ti

IMO of course

i too would go with a 7500

itll work great for what you are using it for
