I'm not impressed with the 3D cards under NT, XP or 2000 but
never had a problem with various Voodoo's and ATI cards under 95/98.
One of the nicer 3D cards I had on the PC-side was a Real3D
Starfighter with an i860 and 16MB RAM onboard. I wish 3dfx hadn't
gone under...I bought one of the Voodoo 5's (Mac version) shortly
after they came out and really liked it but since they never got past
BETA drivers I sold it and bought a Radeon.
