I would also recommend the CV64/3D on a 2000. It's pretty snappy even with a 68030@50MHz and you get hardware 3D support even if it's not very fast. The CV64/3D overclocked quite nicely for me providing even better resolutions, colors and a little more speed yet. I used with Picasso96 and it was problem free and very stable. I bought a local dual input 22" CRT monitor for less than $100 off E-bay and switch between the inputs from the gfx board and scandoubler with a button on the front of the monitor. It's not as nice as a passthrough but there is no degrading of the signals and a CRT is still the way to go on the Amiga. The CRT handles color, motion, and different display resolutions better than LCD monitors.

P.S.
For extra speed with a gfx board, select SIMPLE REFRESH windows and use FAST ram for windows, in any program options.
