Kevin, = off topic = I haven't spend too much on video cards and have limited firsthand information on them. Some benchmarks might show performance differences amoung ET6000, MGA, S3 Virge and Trident 9685. However, I could not tell the differences with my nake eye. One thing for sure is that MGA cards do provide the sharpest images on screen.

OFF TOPIC: If you have a PCI slot available the Diamond Monster 3D card is the one to get. I've seen it at Fry's Electronics recently for $169. You might also consider the company (TDFX) as an investment. Today The Motley Fool is going to add it to one of their portfolios. fool.com I've been using the Monster 3D for awhile now and was so impressed I bought the stock at $14 and $15+. 3DFX have announced their new chip the VOODOO II (the Monster has the original VOODOO) for the end of Q1'98 but should be pretty expensive initially. The VOODOO II is 3 times faster than the original VOODOO and you can run 2 boards at one time in interleave mode (if you have empty slots)for 6 times faster!
