I&#39;m sure that connection speed does have a LOT to do with zoning, around September &#39;99, I made the upgrade from a P166, 32mb&#39;s, VooDoo II, to a P550, 128mb&#39;s, VooDoo III.  My zone time has been cut from nearly 2 minutes to about 30 seconds.  The connection speed helps x-fer any data dealing with non-static items in a given zone.  Your system power, is what puts the data on screen, so both would be equally important.<br/>
<br/>
As far as the Riva TNT 2, I wish I had gone with that over my VDIII.  It does rock!<br/>

  Personally, I use a Diamond Viper V770D Ultra with 32 megs of video ram.  However, I&#39;ve noticed that the only thing that REALLY effects my zoning speed is my connection speed.  A friend of mine and I experimented with this:  We have identical machines (PIII 600, 128 Megs of ram, etc...) with ONE difference.  I have a 56K modem and he has a DSL connection.  On a day with little lag I can zone in 30-45 seconds.  My friend, on the other hand, zones in less than 10 seconds.<br/>
   <br/>
  By the way, I highly recommend the Riva TNT 2 chipset.  Totally awesome :)<br/>

    Hi guys just wanted to ask what your choices are for a graphics card.  Right now I have an ATI Rage LT Pro.  I&#39;ve already upgraded to more Ram and zoning just flies by...so any tips are welcome...you can email me directly if the list doesn&#39;t want this...email me at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="mailto:Lovekungfu@...">Lovekungfu@...</a>  Thanks..<br/>
