The geforce 2 should work in 8.0 unless you have some
other problem is your system.
But if you are determined to return it go with an ATI.
You should be able to get either the Expert2000 or the RadeonVE
for around $100 or less.
At the moment the Expert2000 (Rage 128 chipset) is the best supported
of the two, 3d hardware accel is fully functional where as it is still
experimental with the Radeon.
