I would go with a Geforce 6200 AGP (around $80 US) -or- for a little more get a 6600GT (around $160 US) I'm sure a few others in here have some good suggestions as well.

btw, 32 bit color is all there is. (24 bits per pixel RGB and 8 bit alpha.) :D

Any card that is VS/PS 2.0 capable is fine. I would look at picking up an FX5900 real cheap before going to something like the 6200 (last years high end will always be better than this years low-mid end).. if you can the 6600GT is a pretty nice card as well.

If you have a fast system and don't mind spending a bit for a really good card grab a 6800GT or 6800Ultra which are wicked cards. They are actually the favorites here at work because of rock solid drivers and shader model 3.0 support.

Either way buying a video card right now is pretty much one of the worst times you can, considering the new cards will be released fairly soon and the prices on the existing cards will take a dive.
I have no sig.
