With my system(P5A,K6-2:350) I'm pulling out my hair wondering as to which video card to go with:
This "Banshee" card or
The Diamond Viper550 (Riva TNT) or
Creative Labs Riva TNT.........????????????
Gaming desires,speed,smoothness,flight simulations, etc...

Reviews at www.tomshardware.com (http://www.tomshardware.com) and www.anandtech.com (http://www.anandtech.com) point toward the Asus V3400 TNT as the best choice right now.

The www.lostcircuits.com (http://www.lostcircuits.com) review brings up a few drawbacks.

Go with Riva TNT chipset but DON'T BUY NOW!
Hold off a little while. The 2nd generation TNT cards are going to be released shortly. They are made with a .25 micron form factor that will speed them up and help keep them cooler. Overheating is a major problem with TNT boards currently. The new ones should also come with fans mounted on the board. Go visit http://www.voodoextreme.com to read some about it.
