Jumper settings? Ick. I use Abit motherboards - totally jumperless,
so I do everything from core voltage to clock multipliers, etc in the
BIOS.

Yeah, my 19" beats the heck out of my old 17". With those qualifiers
you mention I'd say you could get a Riva TNT chipset card now
(Creative Labs, Diamond, Canopus and others make them) or maybe wait
for the ATI Rage 128 cards, which are sounding pretty good too. I
have the Marvel for 2d and dual Voodoo2 12mb cards for 3d, but unless
you're really wanting the most power you can get 3d-wise (and the Riva
will do higher res and color depth that Voodoo2s, just not as much
power) that's kinda overkill.
