I am going to make one final, cheap upgrade to my old computer. I want to replace my old Voodoo3 PCI video card for a few reasons, but mostly to improve gaming performance.

I have a P2 300 with 160mb RAM and no AGP slot. I just want a better PCI video card to get by until I can buy a new computer in 6 months or so. I plan on getting either a Geforce2 64mb PCI or a TNT-2 M64 32mb PCI. Does it make any difference which one I get? I know that the bottleneck is probably already my CPU anyway, so should I just go with the cheaper 32mb card? Or will the 64mb card still give me better performance?

I suggest holding out til you get a new computer.

If you know your bottleneck is your cpu then why upgrade videocard? Especially to another PCI videocard.

Won't improve the performance enough to warrant the upgrade.
