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.

It's a micro ATX board. There are only 3 PCI slots, which I all need for other cards (sound, lan, capture card). So as written, it must be an AGP 2.0 card.

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

Given the dreadful bottleneck, how's a Geforce2MX sound?

I'd put a Wildcat in it.

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.

Thanks. I've got a GeForce 2 GTS and some MX 200/400. Will use one of those then. 😀
