Yeah, I saw that...but also read this: The Hot Rod™ 66 card can be used with any FX, LX, EX, ZX, board and although the BX chipset was designed to be compatible with the Ultra ATA/66 specification, it is only capable of running at a maximum of 33 Mbytes/sec, thus offering no advantage over UDMA/33. I know my P2/400 has the BX chipset. My K6-3/450 has Aladdin 5 chipset?, I think I'm ordering a new board and Athlon 600 for $463 + fan...but pricewatch has the 600 even cheaper...247 instead of 338<g>

I've been checking out video cards....hard to compare but, I think this link has helped choose against price /performance. I'm thinking the Voodoo 3/3000 @ $108 is the best bang for the buck...I don't see the new Rage Fury Maxx on this chart but the Rage fury is pretty low on the list....any other opinions? looks like the winfast and Viper are good choices also....Viper II not on list either? gamespot.com I'm wondering if any of these cards will present problems w/ multiple monitors?
