The only accelrated drivers available right now are in a commercial package
for> $80.
Here are some options in the price range you're looking for (don't by an STB
product that isn't a Voodoo board. They were bought by 3Dfx and are no longer
providing driver updates for any of their older boards. I know this because I
have the board you mentioned in one of my computers)
The better choices are:
16MB OEM version of a TNT2
TNT2 Vanta, faster than a TNT, not as fast as a full TNT2, bu typically around
$100
S3 Savage Pro or Pro+ chipset board
Voodoo 3 2500, or 3000
ATi Rage Fury
These aren't the fastest boards, but in your price range they're all solid
performers. However, if you do some carefull shopping, you can get a 32MB TNT2
board for around $150. They are greart performers and have excellent video
quality.
