I also think the GF2 is the best choice. Test after test has shown the Voodoo5 to be slower, sometimes even slower than the original GeForce256...until FSAA is turned on. But if you play at or above 1024x768, the FSAA is not a big issue (unless you are a flight sim fanatic). I have seen the GF2 in the mid $200 range, well below the $299 asking price of the Voodoo5 5500. It pays to have several companies fighting for your business (like with the GF2), compared to single company (3dfx)...
I had a chance to play with the Hercules 64MB GeForce2 on my Athlon 850, fastest thing I have ever seen in my life. Getting Quake3 to run over 100fps in High Quality is a great thing.
