I'll forgive the Off-Topic, but misspell my name again, and I'll sing my
own version of CoD outside your window at 2am ;)
Do not trifle with Bards, for we are not subtle, and your name scans to
Greensleeves.

Nice names on your part, though. Dragonriders fan, I see.

Anyway - as to your request, I can't recommend something, but I can
recommend AGAINST anything by 3dfx. Not only are they no more, but their
technology is receiving no more support (the end of opengl?)

I'm also looking forward to some good suggestions - I want to upgrade, too ;)
