GF2 or Rage 128 Pro? Can anyone say why there are so many nvidia vanta models? I have some cards that say Nvidia Vanta, others Vanta 16, another vanta LT. Why so many names? Is there a difference? Is the vanta a renamed TNT2 M64?

I don´t like ATI cards, they don't cooperate with MDA/HGC.

What matters with Nvidia cards is the NV generation.

There are so many Vanta cards because there are quite a lot of hardware combination with the NV6 (Vanta) chip.

Personally I think the Quadro NVS 280 (NV34) might be a good choice, as its BIOS still cooperates with MDA/HGC.
I have some of these lying around (low bracket version), but even postage (8.89 euro) to Brazil is more than the card is worth (1 euro).

What would MDA/HGC be?

MDA = Monochrome Display Adapter

HGC = Hercules Graphics Card

Ancient tech that you wouldn't see unless you went deep into vintage hardware to find whatever is left functional at this point. It's so old that I'm not sure why it would be an issue when you wouldn't find one in any 98-era machine. Maybe they are actually talking about software that uses that old tech.

WELL I always thought that the fx5000 series was better than win98

something more powerfull than a fx5500 for a good retro win98 and Ms-DOS
