Video Upgrade (Kyro II on a Athlon XP system?)

Thinking of upgrading my system from a k6-3 400 to a Athlon Xp1600.

Also considering video upgrade from TNT2 Ultra 32 mg card with the best performance/$$$$

Is the Kyro II at $65 the best deal in town?

Keep in mind that I am not a hardcore gamer and any improvement will be RELATIVE to my TNT2 Card.

I heard the Kyro is very CPU dependent but a XP1600 should drive it pretty well (correct?)

Let me know your thoughts or suggestions for other cards.

thanks,

Mattlock
 
Yeah Kyro II is the best all round card for price/performance, especially if you don't want to have to overclock to get good performance (which would rule out the GTS-V). The Kyro II is $64 on pricewatch.com. its got great 3d quality and speed especially with fast CPU's like the one your getting and its 2d is also always very good.
