Ok here's the deal I am running RH 8.0 under X with KDE. I currently play CS in linux, but the UT2003 demo looked like it owned!!! :D I probably will purchase UT2003 sometime in the near future, as I really enjoyed the demo. The problem is I REALLY like CS, and simply can't seem to shake my feelings toward it, even though an old mod from an extinct engine still rocks! But the reason I am posting here in the first place, is a good preforming NVIDIA card that will get me 100 constant FPS in CS under WineX, and I would like to get @ least 50 when playing UT03. My budget is $120 including shipping, and I have looked at g3 ti200's and g4 4200's. I can get the G3 for cheaper, and get 128 DDR, whilst the G4 4200 I can get cheapest for slightly more than the geforce 3 with only 64 DDR. The new geforce line I believe is based on nv 25 architexture, whilst geforce 3's are based upon 23, or 20 (I think...) I am thinking about going with the Geforce 3 ti200, but If anyone here can find a card that is for 120$ or less w/ shipping that is NVIDIA, and has the 128DDR, it would be greatly apprechiated. I have searched my favorite hardware seach engine, Pricewatch for various Geforce cards, and the like.
Ultimatly a card that fits my budget <$120 has 128DDR, and is NVIDIA G3, or G4 will win me over! I don't know if any of you guys are gamers, but most likely a lot of peeps here play the great game UT2003! This will be a hard card to find, especially with my budget. If I ran M$ the Xabre 8x AGP 128DDR would be perfect for my budget, weighing in at a light $109. But since IMHO Gates can suck a donkey's flop, I wont be buying a card thats not NVIDIA (since it has no-doubt the best linux support...) for a while. If anyone can find a good card for me I would really like it, Thank all of you so much for your support in the past, and helping me w/ a hard decision now!!! :p :p :p :p :p :p :p
EDIT: Lol I always forget to list my specs, currently my system is majorly bottlenecked, but thats wut the vidcard is for :O)

512 DDR
Geforce 2 mx 200 PCI 64 SDRAM
ECS K7S5A (nice mobo for VERY cheap!)
27 Gig Quantum 5400 RPM HDD
4x write speed oldskool CD/RW
Skyhawk pure Alu. 1337 case with blowhole cut by me...
