It's a tie between a Voodoo1 and a Voodoo3
The Voodoo1 was the most amazing upgrade. A Voodoo3 is faster but it's nto as drastic between V1 and Software. I don't even find a GeForce2 to be that big of a difference over V1 as a V1 was over software.
The Voodoo3 because it's dirt cheap, no annoying passthrough cables or extra steps you just hook it in and it runs and does everything. I haven't found a game yet that run at least decently on it, and it has good crisp 2D. I've had 0 stability or compatibilty problems...it's just been an all around great card for me. I've had it since August 1999 and I'm still in no hurry to replace it.
I'm looking at an R200 value version hoping it has decent drivers by then or possibly an NV20 if it has a value version....otherwise the V3 is probably going to stay in my system for another 6 months.
