Nvidia TNT-32Mb - piece of crap?

Just bought a computer with the aforementioned. Does anyone have any experience with it? Limitations? Positives? Would be nice to have feedback.

It was a great card in its time, but it's quite old now.

What would be a good (cheap) alternative? I've never installed one before, so I am pretty ignorant to it. I don't really do anything high tech. Watch movie downloads, play a few games, listen to music. Nothing too crazy.

Good n Cheap, I use use one, and I have no problems with games like CounterStrike/Team Fortress (look for Sniper Fodder on server Extreme TFC 1.5!!). The only problem I have encountered is compatability problems with the old ATI TV Wonder drivers, MMC 7.1 works fine though.

An original GeForce can probably be had for practically nothing now, especially if you search around online.

check pricewatch.com for a low end GeForce2 (i see one for $40) that is a totally kickass video card, i have the geforece2 MX400, i can run unreal tournament at 65fps in 1024x768 on a duron 750. friend with that MX200 for $40, he gets about 55fps at the same res... for movie watching my card also has tv-out and dvd-acceleration.
