the GF3 is at 187% when the GF2 GTS 32MB DDR is 100%. so it's not that much better. and the Radeon 8500 is 64MB DDR, and it's better and cheaper than the GF3.

The Radeon 8500 is only better at some aplicatiosn the pure raw speed of a Geforce 3 usually just beats the Radeon 8500 But when Doom3 comes out the Radeon will whoop the Geforce3 Because the radeon will have to do only one clock sysle while the Geforce3 will have to do two clock cycles to render the Textures so the Radeon 8500's time of glory is not yet appon us, But will be soon, they also have worse drivers than the Geforce 3 But are getting better all the time.

FYI: The Radeon 8500 Scores Better on the Madonion 3DMark 2001

yep true.... you have to make a choice with these too, or you wanna have a cheaper card that is on general a better card. or you take the GF3 that is a little more expensive, BUT! Nvidia always have new detonator drivers that increases the speed of the card drastically. it's a hard choice, but i think i would go for the radeon. (cause i don't have all the money in the world) if i had more money i guess i would be GF3. *phew i'm glad i don't have to make a choice like that* :p

Ya me to Judge i would choose the Radeon 8500 cus it has a more productive future I think plus it has all the features that DX8.1 have and the newest OpenGl(forget wat version) plus Its CHEAPER (always a PLUS!!)

OK in answer to your questions:-

Best ATi:
Radeon 8500 64MB DDR TVO (TVO Means TV Out)

Best PINE/POWER COLOR:
GEF 2MX 32M/TVOUT
GEFORCE2 64 MB PCI(more ram slower BUS)

Best ASUS:
V7700 64 Pro/Ultra (This Is based on the Geforce 3 chipset)

Best Overall [My Opinion]:
Radeon 8500 64MB DDR TVO

PROBLEM FOR YOU:-
You are running an extremly dated CPU (and by what you stated 2 CPUS Which i NOW IS Wrong You cant be running a Pentium II and a K-6 Unless You are On about Two Separte Computers!)

SOLUTION:-
Upgrade You CPU,MOTHERBOARD & RAM
Recommend By Me:
CPU: AMD AthlonXP 1900+ (runs at 1600MHz/1.6GHz)
Mainboard: ASUS A7V266-E
RAM: Crucial 2100 DDR

This Will Give You One Of The Fastest Systems About Will Not Be Needing Upgrading For abou 2-3 Years (when 64BIT CPUS Debut)

Hope This Helps

F (it's 64Mb ram DDR, and newer than the 7500)
I(if you want to connect your TV too one, then choose H
M

the best overall is: F

Judge i would dissagree with your choice of 'I' it runs on the PCI bus and therfore ios auotomatically slower! Also the Gefroce 2MX chipset can not use all that extra ram so it is watsed! Also the 7500 is just a Higer Clocked Radeon (original)

yeah i thought about my choice with the PCI too, it is slower and it doesn't support DVD cause only AGP does that. so i agree with Bruno now. and the 7500 radeon can have a higher clockspeed(i don't know), but the 8500 has newer techniques that makes good for the clockspeed
