Default Help! Which video card do I need?

I have an HP Pavillion- 500mhz AMD K6-2 boostet to 300 plus sram. Its videographics consist of a PCI Local Bus on the motherboard with SIS integrated controler and 2 to 8 MB UMA video memory. The computer has 2 open PCI ports but no A** port.

With the latest version of FMS I'm only seeing 3 frames per second!!! Needles to say this makes for a very jerky and frustrating flight.

I'd like to be able to use FMS, G2, Cocpitmaster, or any of the other great simulators effectively but cost efficiently. Which PCI card would you experts suggest to fill that bill. Best Buy has the Visiontek GEForce2 MX200 32MB PCI card on sale right now for $49.95 after the rebate. Would that card work alright for my application?

Thanks for your knowlege,

Hugh Mason
