What would be a good matching graphics card for a Pentium 4 1.3 GHz? (Willamette, with RDRAM)

Must be AGP 2.0. Wish I could just use a Voodoo Banshee or Voodoo3, but the mainboard takes 1.5V cards only. A Voodoo4 would work, but those are a bit hard to come by.

You could always use a PCI Voodoo 3. The Voodoo 3 cards have pretty much 0 performance difference between PCI and AGP.

Treat it like a fast P3, Geforce 3 ti200, geforce 2, Radeon 7500/8500, heck a geforce 4mx or ti would also be a good match

Voodoo 3 would have been a bit long in the tooth for a P4, go for at the least a GeForce 2 GTS/Ultra/Ti. For anything above and including a Tualatin my goto card is a Radeon 8500. I move onto a Radeon 9700/9800 when I get into later AthlonXP - early Athlon64 territory.
