    for a temp solution, get a geforce 2. they're cheap, and they work well enough.

    no, but it's cheaper. for a temporary solution, you want to spend as little money as possible. geforce 2 is a good comprimise of power and cost as a temp solution. depending of course on the length of the temporaryness.

    The 9700 will make a good 12-18 month temp. :D:D:D:D:D I would look at a low end GF3 before the GF2, but it all depends on the cash flow you have at hand.

    Crucial do a 64MB (But with DDR instead of SDR) non-LE version for a quid less (including shipping).

    I don't think it has TV-Out though.

    I have the 64MB SDR version and it even runs UT2K3 without problems. The 7500s are good little cards :D
