@TheKid965:
Congratulations to your new graphics card! It really does make a difference. However, graphic cards tend to eat some fast memory and they do require some CPU to feel smooth.

I'd start looking for second-hand memory expansions (or memory for your 030 card), or perhaps even a new CPU. I've got an A1200T (Zorro II like the A2000) with a 060/50Mhz and I must say I wouldn't want to use anything less than an 040 with the graphics card - you can view JPEGs in true-colour but they take forever to load on an 030 ;-)

There is both PPC and 060 cards for the 2000 AFAIK, and all I can say is go for it!

As far as the specs of the card, maybe these links can help:
