A best bet would be VisionTek's version of the GeForce 2 MX 400. This manufacturer has received many nods from Maximum PC (www.maximumpc.com) and the version of the board they make costs about $100.00 the last time I checked. True, it's not a professional GL workstation card, though usually such a card costs into the thousand dollar range, and since price appears a premium for you, it's a better selection than the GeForce 4 MX 440. Why? You'll pay double for the same performance, as the GeForce 4 MX 440 lacks hardware pixel shading. Sure it's got built in hardware DVI and DVD decoding, but you can only really take advantage of that in Window$. As you appear more interested in making GL models and graphics, the GeForce 2 MX 400 is the best value card you can get for the money. I suggest ATI... but they just can't seem to get their Window$ driver's act together... even with the Win98 windows diver model!
