With 80GB goodness and 1GB DDR, a TNT2 Non-Ultra isn't quite sufficient. What cards out of the above listed would you go for? If the one you'd go for is not listed, but is within that price-range, please do enlighten me! TIA!

Tbird 1.333/266 CPU

Acording to yo ur choice list, the Geforce FX to me seems the best since t he 9100 cards aren't that great in my opinion. It really depends more on your cpu in this case so knowing that will help. Also, I would personally go for a 9600 card non pro which should fit into you r price range prtty soon, otherwise even getting a 9500 refurbished at that price range wouldn't be bad. You could probably get the 9500 pro refurbed for something like price. What country do you live in?
 
Also, I have an ECS K7S5A motherboard, I don't know how that factors into the decision really. Thought I should mention it.
