Depends what games you play, and your budget. If you're into things that eat frame rates like no tomorrow (like flight sims), it's generally better to go for the latest in vid cards, & that would be the GeForce 4. OTOH if you're into stuff like RPGs (which usually don't have stiff requirements for vid cards) a GeForce2 will suffice.

I'm using a TNT2 Ultra myself, still good for most of my games. Even my flight sim (Falcon 4) gets good enough frame rates on this card. It's perfectly adequate for BG2/BG/IWD. Wiz8 (demo version) played well on it with all the graphic options maxed.

The other thing to remember is to make sure the drivers for your card are updated. This helps alot especially with newer releases.
