For 3d, the Voodoo 3/4/5000 series.  A ViRGE DX based card is cheaper and easier to find, although lagging in 3d (by far!) against the 3dfx based cards.
Back away from the EU-SSR!

Yes Voodoo3 3000 16mb is the best, or maybe Voodoo3 3500 with AGP-->PCI converter.
CD32
A500

Hi, I'm curious.

I thought the miggy couldn't do 3d? Is this on games, like quake or something?

I must say, I'm very happy with the Voodoo, I managed to get a 5500 which benchmarks a little quicker than the 3000, and have no problems. I couldn't get a 4000 to work though.
