I agree with Chuck on this one... Don't go the cheap way out.  I
recommend a visit to www.pricewatch.com.  Look for the Multimedia
section and click on video cards.  There you will see a list of all
the video cards listed by vendors and their prices at a glance.  It's
an invaluable resource.  I see that the GeForce 2 Ultra I paid nearly
$450 for back in March is now down to $175.  Heck, even a GeForce 3
Deluxe is less expensive than what I paid. :-)  But the nice part is
that much of the GeForce 2 Ultra's capabilities haven't even been
exploited by game developers yet, so figure I'll enjoy it for another
year before upgrading. :-)
