Voodoo5 5500 64 MB vs Radeon 32MB DDR

[Guest]

Looking for a $100 - $150 (the lower the price the better) range video card. Have 3 in mind Voodoo5 5500 64MB SDRAM ($129.90) or Radeon 32MB DDR ($109.00) or Matrox G450 32MB DDR SDRAM $91.00. Any comments (well almost) would be highly appreciated. Or unless their are other cards I should be considering, cards within the price range of the VooDoo5 64MB. Already going over my budget.

Found 1 more card Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS 32MB $89.00

voodoo5 = DEAD :*(
G450 = Poor 3d, great 2d
Geforce 2 gts = very fast 3d, poor image quality
Radeon = fast 3d, Great 2d, Great image quality

the radeon is the favorite. Go with the radeon.

I would not agree that GeForce 2 32 mb has poor image quality. Check Toms review on the GeForce 2 and see what it has to say along with the benchmarks. I have built my very system based on Tom's reviews and suggestion.

Only time I did not go, is when I bought my motherboard he suggested Asus for AMD Thunderbird, I bought Abit's KT7A as I love soft menu for overclocking rather than jumpers.
