To add to that...

I'm sure that connection speed does have a LOT to do with zoning, around September '99, I made the upgrade from a P166, 32mb's, VooDoo II, to a P550, 128mb'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.

As far as the Riva TNT 2, I wish I had gone with that over my VDIII. It does rock!

Personally, I use a Diamond Viper V770D Ultra with 32 megs of video ram. However, I'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.

By the way, I highly recommend the Riva TNT 2 chipset. Totally awesome :)

Hi guys just wanted to ask what your choices are for a graphics card. Right now I have an ATI Rage LT Pro. I'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't want this...email me at Lovekungfu@... Thanks..
