for a cheap card i suggest GeForce 2 MX400(not MX200!!! its crap)
for a mid range card: GeForce 2 GTS, PRO, or Ti
my most suggested: GeForce 3 Ti500

summary: you're safe as long as it is GeForce! may I also suggest getting an nForce chipset mobo, i heard it goes quite well with a GeForce not to mention it has an integrated GeForce 2!(and no I'm not endorsing nvidia products)

Well looks like I'm getting a Geforce 2 MX400 for 50 bucks

Are you sure that's a good choice though, anyone disagree with this card being good?

GeForce cards are the best for pj64, tha emu authors recommend any nvidia card, choose a geforce2 TI or Geforce3,

KeiIchi: sorry for the late reply an MX400 (Inno3D i think its 64mb w/o TV out ) costs about ~P3000 at PCOptions I can't give you an exact price coz prices usually fluctuate usually going down, if you want to wait the GTS's (Inno3d again) price is going down its around P5000 now, maybe it'll go down to P4000 by the end of the year
