Need a new Graphics card for N3, What should I buy?

Hi Folks,

  After a year of *** my STB Blackmagic Voodoo2 card bit the dust.
Seems like my local Utility Company had a bad line coming into my house
allowing all sorts of power fluctuations.

But,  I need a new card for a PII-266 machine with an AGP slot or a PCI
slot.

I really liked the way the VOODOO2 worked being pass-through with my
nVidai 4MB AGP card.  I use the machine to do  Adobe Photoshop work also
so I don't know which card to get.

The games I use the most are N3, GPL, and MTM

If you do spend significant amount of time with GPL, your best bet
would be a Voodoo2 or a Voodoo3 card, depending on how much you can
afford.  There are faster, better cards out there than Voodoo3 cards,
but for GPL, a Voodoo card is still the way to go.  Just keep in mind
that Voodoo3 is a 2d/3d card, so you can get rid of that nVidia card
if you do go for a Voodoo3 card.
