GeForce 2 GTS w/32 mb ram

With the new detonator drivers you really don't need 64 meg of ram. The
compression factors with the new drivers remove the memory bottleneck that
the 32 meg cards used to have compared to 64.

www.tomshardware.com

Check that site out for more info on the card. The Voodoo5 6000 (not the
5500) is a slightly better card but costs twice as much and I have yet to
find anyone selling it so the GeForce 2 GTS is almost as good at half the
cost and easily obtainable.

I personally have the ELSA though Creative just released theirs.

If you use it I HIGHLY recommend going to www.nvidia.com and downloading
THEIR new release drivers. They are far superior and have fewer problems
with EQ. My Elsa drivers wouldn't even let EQ run.
