Which of the above would you most recommend me?
right now my PC is:
AMD Athlon Thunder Bird 1400 on a Gigabyte Mother Board.
448 SDRAM.
And the current 3D Accelerator/Display Adapter i have is Voodoo 3D 2000.
Thanx in advance.
p.s. I must mention the use of the computer is music only.

if that voodoo card is AGP then it's fine.
PCI - no good
Matrox cards - a big NO NO |

Well, I really don't understand why you need a top notch video card if the computer is only for music.

well.
in my big experience especialy with games i would recomand that:
if u want only for music, buy ATI Radeon 32mb.
if u want for games, buy ATI Radeon 64 or new Radeon 8500.
DONT GO NEAR GEFORCE.
many driver problems with geforce.
you need something that u will plug and play with NO bullshit.
ATI is the best for that.
TRUST ME.
i have experience with geforce, voodoo, ati rage and ati radeon.
the radeon is the best buy.
defenetly.
mark my words and read my lips.
SMILE ! and the whole world will smile right back at you ! |

alon,
Matrox cards are the best for 2d work with windows and all the window based programs.
I guess you meant - no because of the 3d.

There is the new Matrox card which is better than Radeon and GF, but it's expensive.
Go for the Radeon.
