My choice is between:

1.Nvidia Riva TNT2
2.Nvidia Vanta
3.Voodoo 4500 AGP

I dont know which one is the best. I'm running it on Windows XP,
and I know because of that fact some will say the voodoo aint right,
but please dont take it in your considiration, as I have unofficial drivers
for it, and they work pretty fine. What's more worrying me is the incompatibility between the card and some
games (not neccesary new). Basically I want to know which card runs games faster and better(more FPS etc, btw
I know Vanta has some issues with low FPS, so i've heard anywayz).

Thank you.

I'm sorry, but it seems those cards are horrible. If you're buying a card, wait until PCI Express because that will be soooo goooooood.

Those cards are horible, why do you need one of them? If you have only 10$ to spend on your comp, then better wait much longer, dont buy eny of those.

You could try being abit nicer and then maybe more people wil help, demanding an answer isnt the way to go about it, i told u in the other post to go with the tnt2 because of the drivers, i do feel sorry for you. err... i mean your *cough* "sisters" pc though.

As its the AGP one, not PCI, I would go for the Voodoo 4500 card. Its alot more powerful than the TNT2...However, the tnt2 line is still officially supported by Nvidia's Forceware driver, so for compatibility reasons i would choose that second.

Its my sister's computer and she doesnt play much but sometimes i want to install
a game like mohaa and do a net game, so mohaa for example works pretty good with
the voodoo, I would say its even got high FPS (30-40 without enemys) but the problem is
the lack of support from the developers. Neither TNT2 is supported by games which got out
bofore something like 2 to 3 years, so I guess its not such a big difference.
So I guess I shouldnt even consider putting my VANTA in it.

AND I didnt mean to sound angry , just got a liitle upset, thats all.
Sorry anyway
