I am building a dual slot 1 workstation and plan on installing Windows 2000. I'm going with two Pentium III 500s and 2GB of RAM.
What is the best (or at least a good) graphics card for a system like this? I don't have an AGP slot so that kinda limits my options. Looking for something that would perform well in both gaming and Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc.

Thanks!

Same rules that apply to a Win98 build will still apply as a P3 will be playing same era games and you'll want to avoid the same backwards compatibility issues of later cards.

Thanks for the reply.

I threw some bids on a few FX 5000 series cards (I think two FX 5200s and another I don't remember).
