Help choosing a video card for papy sims

Hi All!

I'm looking to buy an inexpensive graphics card to play my Papyrus games.
I'm a NR1999 and ICR2 ***. I'm looking at rendition based Hercules
Thriller3D. Does the 8Mb version is alot better than the 4Mb version because
the price is almost 3 times hogher (69$ vs 200$ here in CANADA). Also I'll
be playing those on my old P-166 with 64Mb RAM. Should I way to get a new
computer before buying a new video card...

Also beside Hercules, what would be other good cards for Papy sims.

The Hercules Thriller 3d 8mb pci card is THE card you will need for papy sims
such as ICR2 and N99.
If you go to www.hercules.com,  you can order the card directly for $100. But
since the candaian prices or 2x and 3x times higher than here, you decide.

I have run both cards in a 200mmx and now a celeron 450.
In the 200 there was a noticeable difference in GPL fps
but not much in N2/N99. However, assuming you want to
run N3 you should probably go for the 8 meg.
