Yeah... and this stuff would be best for Josh [I gave him all my 24 bit 
Nubus frame buffers (did they arrive OK Josh?)] ... all I need is a PC 
weenie game card :-)... just don't want to buy too much or too cheap a 
card.

I think at Bill's + other's recs I'm going with the GeForce 2MX 200 32 
instead of the 400 64 since I will only want decent performance at 640, 
800, and 1024, but no higher.  I do want fog, lighting, and all the 
whizzbang effects, however... i.e. don't want to uncheck everything in 
the details menu :-).

Thanks, anyhow
