Though by that time a geforce2 might be well under $50 US. Sounds like the adventurous users here with G400/G450's have had some luck, as has a Rage 128 owner. The voodoo 3/4/5 also work. The older AGP radeon cards should work, as well as the "VE" line of radeons. I'm fairly happy with the radeon I got a few weeks ago, though there is a known clipping bug that makes bzflag unplayable. I also had to down clock the CPU (which wasn't overclocked to begin with) and find a chipset specific BIOS setting to keep the card from locking up the machine when using 3d "apps".
