Video Card option

If you guys had a choice for video card between Voodoo 3 3500TV (16MB) and Diamond Viper V770 Non-Ultra(Standard) 32MB for this mobo (TUSL2-C) and Win2k which one would you choose? Why? Also consider I will try to 0verclock P3 700E to 133Mhz. Will these cards work on Win2k? Thanks.

Hi Charles,
I am biased! I used to have a Viper V770 standard and thought it was a great card. I would always recommend it.

Did you ever had or use a Voodoo 3? For what I read and hear the Voodoo 3500 will be better gaming on 16 bit yet the Viper is a better overcloaker with the proper cooling and will work on all OS with the NVidia drivers.

Grab the Viper without thinking twice. The voodoos don't support 32 bit color depth.

I really loved my old Viper card.

The Viper gets my vote.

The card with most mem gets my vote. Save the voodoo for a little server project in the future.

Any older system with basic agp will run a geforce 2

gigabyte LX
geforce 2 400MX

256mb
Runs like a dream but could use a few extra polygons.
