With the release of the GF4s, the GF3 cards are cheaper now than ever. I gave a VisionTek GF3 (not Ti) and I am very happy with it. Unless price is a primary concern over performance, I would stay away from any cards that say "MX" on them. They are neutered versions of the regular cards (lower performance, not all the features), and not worth your time (think Celeron vs PIII). Most games now, including FPS, RTS, and RPC (including MM9) are totally 3D (not 3D chars on 2D backgrounds like BG2 or D2), which means you should have a good graphics card to support them. especially since you don't have a P4 processor to back them up.

GF2 is so two years ago...the cards you should buy in order of performance (least to best)(but probably not price) are GF3 Ti200, GF3, GF3Ti500, GF4 4400 and GF4 4600.
