Which video card?

[Guest]

Australian user - another which card question: I have $ to spend on a card for my new Athlon 1.2 system. I will be using it mainly for gaming, but also 2D apps. TV, DVD not really of interest. I have money to spend on any of the following:

Creative GeForce 2 GTS/Pro
Leadtek GeForce 2 GTS/Pro
Asus V7700 Deluxe
Hercules Prophet 4500 64MB
ATI Radeon 64MB

These cards are similarly priced in Australia, so that is not the issue. My major concerns are:
1. Support for LG Flat Panel monitor.
2. Speed and quality for current games.
3. 'Usability' for future games - will it still be OK for games in 1-2 years?

What do you experts think I should buy?
Thanks

I would say the radeon 64. It will have good speed and awesome quality for current games. Don't kno abou the lg flat panel. Is it just the regular CRT port?? It should be good for upcoming games. I would get the retail version being that it is faster than the oem, it has a higher clock. Hope this helps.
