i think the 5500 would be better . the bad thing about it you will have to find drivers for it . there are places on the web where people have made there own drives for it so they can be found for me and xp , maybe even linux . i have never used linux so don't know about that one .

I'd go with the Geforce. It'll be easier to get updated drivers for it.

I have both In PCI, though. The GeForce 4 MX 440 se performs better, until Glide or antialiasing become a factor. Nothing does AA like a Voodoo 5.

Why get the MX? In most cases a GeForce2 ultra will perform better than a GeForce4MX in games. A GeForce3, GeForce3 ti200, and Geforce3, ti500 will always beat the geforce4mx. I guess it also depends on what you'll be using it for. MX series means that it sucks and mainly for desktop/office applications like word processing. I have a MX and its awful for playing games with it.
