Not that I'm selling but what exactly is your price range? And what will you be mainly doing with your system?

Depends on your CPU. What are you using for 3D now?

Assuming you have enough horsepower (P2-400 or better) the Geforce MX is a good budget solution in the $100 - $140 range. Performs almost as fast as a Geforce GTS at lower resolutions.

I'd say Radeon also, but this is just from what I heard about it. I'll be able to tell you more come Monday and it arrives!

Radeon's an unknown for me, so I can't personally recommend it - not to mention that 12 years of past experience with ATI and their SH@TTY driver support has made me very sour on them (to be fair I've hear a lot of good things about the Radeon and drivers seem to be maturing very nicely - latest set seems to cure most of the earlier complains).

I have a Geforce DDR which I upgraded to from a Voodoo3 and I love it. The Geforce MX is a bit faster, overall, than a Geforce DDR - and actually a cheaper in most configurations. It's definately the budget card I'd buy now.

If you have the green backs to burn, though, get a Geforce2 GTS.
