Well, geeze, anything that's available at the moment?

I know a TNT2 m64 at $39 can do it resonably, but if you're willing to
spend $100 on a card, just go get a GeForce4 MX440 or thereabouts, and
be happy you have a pretty resonable modern card.

There's always the Radeon line, $70 will get you something resonable.

Just did some double checking, and an i740 based card dates from the
heyday of the S3Virge or the Riva 128. I do suggest you do get a newer
card, depending on the remaining hardware in your machine.
