Thats me right about now....utterly boggled and over run with info.....being broke doesn't help options much either. Trust me when I say if I could I would get a GF3 Ti 200 (heard they were on sale at Best Buy recently) but again Iz broke.

If those are your options- Geforce 2 Ti without any doubt at all.

You can find good ones clocked at around 250/444 which will annihilate any Geforce 2 MX (especially at High res).

The Kyro needs a reasonably powerful CPU to get the most out of it, your P3 wouldn't be enough to feed it properly- Even with a grunty setup the Geforce 2 Ti would generally be a more powerful in any case

GF 2 Ti-hands down winner of the 3

It would probably be best to keep using the V5 until you upgrade the the cpu/mobo, especially if you are broke like you said.:) That $99 GF3 Ti200 from BB would have been nice though. Better video cards usually need faster cpu's to take advantage of them.
I'm currently using a 64mb Visiontek GF3 Ti500(260/590) with my 1.4@1.6ghz Athlon XP 1600+ on a Shuttle AK31 KT266A mobo with 512mb of Crucial DDR.

I've tried the 3 of them on my P3 750Mhz( the old geforce2 MX, the Kyro2 and the old Geforce2 PRO. When I say old, it's because they are not the new models...MX400..or Gf2 Ti200, but if you look at Anand benchmarks...you'll see they're almost identical...BTW Yield, the Gf2 Ti 200 is a Gf2 PRO, not an Ultra, don't be fooled by it's 250Mhz.)

On my machine the fastest what without no doubt the Gf2 PRO.
On a 750Mhz the MX and the kyro2 are about the same...but the kyro has some artefact in lots of games.
So go for the Gf2 Ti 200.
