Voodoo boards WERE the best for gaming before the GeForce came out. But the only cards that will effect still renders at all (aside from the ones with a lot of on-board memory, and even that won't help much) are the VERY expensive high-end professional video cards. I'd suggest going for a TNT2 (I have an ATI128 but it only has 8 MB - not enough for most recent games!) if you're budget conscious (I've seen them for $78-180, depending on memory, brand, etc.). If you want a good card for gaming as well, and can afford it, shell out the $199-$450 for a Voodoo 5 or GeForce with 32 MB RAM (unless you have the optimized mother board and drivers that Dell is using, anything over 32 MB on a video card is a waste of money at present). If money is no object, go look at SGI, Intergraph, and the high-end Guillemot/Elsa cards (ERazor, Oxygen). I THINK most of them are now finally BELOW $1000...
