Which VidCard for f1rc? (MX, RadeonLE, V5)

Which would be better for a old P500  like I have?

Ill probably run it in 800x600....
I would like to use fsaa if Its fast enough.
Ill probably run it in 16bit color to i guess, heh

Ive heard different things like the RadeonLE is supposed to be
faster than the MX in 32bit and fsaa but not 16bit.

Also Ive heard the V5 has good FSAA, but with no driver support
now, Im kind of reluctant....because I play tons of other games
to, and I would hate for a newer game to come out and not having
it work right because of the lack of driver updates. ( I remember I
had to update my tnt drivers to get F12k graphics working normal)

I have no idea how the FSAA is on the MX or if its fast enough to
actually use.

I also play other driving games like NFS|PU,  ICR2, N4, NH, GPL,
F1CS2K. But I primarly play f1rc now :p

The Voodoo5 5500 has great and fast FSAA, I play 1600x1200 2xFSAA and its
great in F1RC (I have a 1,2gig T-Bird, though it should great in 2x-4x FSAA
in 800x600 on your system).
You can forget the FSAA of the GeForce line of cards, it is too slow to
actually use it. The only alternative concerning FSAA seems to be the
soon-to-be released Kyro II, which seems to do extremely well especially in
FSAA in reviews. You might want to wait for the 2-chip SLI Version of the
Kyro, which will probably have the fastest FSAA available.
I am happy with my Voodoo 5 5500 AGP right now, though.
