GP2, Graphics Cards, and the Meaning of life...

(Not necessarily in that order) I have a Pentium 100/16MB RAM, but I'm looking to upgrade from my stock 24bit Cirrus/1MB PCI card. Naturally, I've looked long and hard at GP2...and I wish to get the best performance out of it once I procure it. I know very well that 200 MHz P6's with 128-bit graphics cards still *** on it, so I don't expect to run full detail...Just a few detail elements would be fine...So, based on this information, and the knowledge that I am also HIGHLY interested in future 3D-capable products as NASCAR 2 and (probably) IndyCar 3, what graphics card would you recommend I upgrade to? I understand (perhaps erroniously) that there is currently no standard for 3D acceleration, so which (Diamond, Creative, etc...) seems to be the early leader in the field? If it matters, I am currently leaning towards the (future) Creative 3D-Blaster PCI, with the "Rendition" chip, that is "Not yet shipping, and we don't know when it will"...Any information would be welcome. Thanks... BillZ2631
