Hey.
Currently, i have a 8MB Nvidea TNT2 card, and I am thinking of getting a new card, at least 16MB Video Memory, but it has gotta be cheap. I don't have that much money, after all im 10 :-( :-).

I suspect this isn't your definition of "cheap," but, for something better than what you have, I'd get a Voodoo 3 2k PCI, and overclock it....they're about 50 bucks....

Oh yeah....another annoying fact. I've been in your shoes before (actually, I'm worse off, I have a videocard that is commonly reffered to as a 3d decelerator...the S3 ViRGE4Mb), but for about 80 bucks, you can get a Geforce 2 MX, which are pretty much the ultimate in "cheap" videocards.....they mop the floor with V3's.

Get a GeForce 2 MX or the new Radeon VE (you can unlock the GPU for better performance).

Unless you run win2k....in which case just get the mx. ATI's win2k drivers, from what I've heard, are abysmal. (Compared to Nvidias)

i'd also suggest a Geforce2MX, they're about the best inexpensive video cards you can find

AGP or PCI?
If you need a PCI card, get a V3. If you have an AGP slot, GFMX2 is the best choice--get Guillemot--if you can, a high quality brand. Going for 80-some bucks on Price Watch.
