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

Hi Folks, After a year of gaming 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 Chris Schmidt

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. Ricky
