Which card for this machine?

[Diatribe]

I'm setting up another machine out of left over stuff...here's what I have for it so far:

P2-350mhz
256 megs SD PC100
2-13 gig UDMA/66
17" Panasonic Monitor
SB Live! Value
56k modem
other minor stuff.

Only thing I don't really have for it, is a video card.
So what's good for that kinda CPU speed?

I was thinking of spending around 150$ or so at most, since it'd just be a secondary machine. I found a V5-5500 for 119.99$ at EB and a GForce2 for 169$ as well.

In a 350, you'd be wasting your money with a V5 or a GTS. If you can get the V5 for $120, might as well get it. Otherwise, go with something like a TNT2U or a GeForce 256, the original card, perferably with DDR.

like what he said. you might look at matrox, or a radeon, or a gf2mx. don't spend over $100 on one, and that might be too much.

Actually the V5 would probably be most useful, you could enable 2x or 4x FSAA with little performance penalty.

For that CPU the V5 or a TNT sounds good.
