I was thinking of getting this card: Creative GeForce 2 PRO but wanted some advice if it was worth it, I play alot of FPS games with the occasional flight sim.
 
Thanks.

NVidia has a new driver for that card (version 21.81), you can get it here http://www.nvidia.com/us/ie/pg000010.htm
Once installed you can activate the quicktweak icon in the taskbar going to display properties (right click ot the desktopand chose properties) > settings > advanced > GForce2GTS > additional properties > desktop utilities. Have fun!!!
