Help me make a decision

Alright, I am building a new comp. Getting a 1.2 GHz Athlon with Epox 8K7A+ mboard, and so i need help on deciding which graphics card to get. This is a really large upgrade for me and so I am a bit in the dark about which to make. These are my current choices:

Guillemot Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 Kyro II 4500 64MB with TV OUT SDRAM
or
Radeon 64MB DDR
or
64MB GeFORCE 2 Pro GTS ?
 
if you want high speed both with and without FSAA at lower rez (1024x768 and lower) then get the geforce2 pro. if you want speed with and without FSAA at high rez (1280x1024), then get the kyro II. if you want superb image quality, the VIVO features, and don't mind kinda slow FSAA, then get the radeon 64 MB. if you are using win2k, it looks like you will be safe with any of them. i have been doing quite a bit of radeon research, and it looks like the problems with the radeon in win2k have been overstated.

good luck on your system!
