If you are just a regular gamer, go for a good quality GeForce2 MX 32 or 64MB (Hercules, Guillemot, Asus or Creative Labs). There are three types (unfortunately):

MX
MX200
MX400

The MX and MX400 chips are indistinguishable from each other, but the MX200 is very noticeably slower. I worked in a computer store, so believe me when I say this, no name cards are usually using MX200 chips, but you usually won't find out until the video card BIOS is displayed at boot!

Personally I wouldn't waste your money going with a GTS, PRO or ULTRA GeForce2 model, because you will probably want to get a GeForce 3 in about a year anyway, and any model of Geforce2 (besides the MX200) will do just fine for quite a while (at least a year).
