Thanks, guys. 
I'm currently checking a Japanese price check site, and sorely confused... 
Another question: Which should I pay more attention, the chipset or the size of memory? I mean, if there are two cards sold in the same price, one with 32mb mem with newer chipset and the other with 64mb and older chipset, which should I choose?

| mem, when playing non-3d games more memory has a greater impact than more calculating power.

If you're just playing 2d/isometric games then get a nVidia Riva TNT2.
Cheap and they cope with a lot (Anarchy Online).
As Gandalfgal The Talking Gibberling said memory is more important. |

| I see I've been promoted.
nVidia is never a bad choice, great driver support. The latest double the performance of the older cards.

Just don't download the detonator driver for TNT.
Screwed up my cousins adapter and he's stuck on 16bit colour - makes BG2 look ugly as a True Colour map in High colour - and thats ugly I tell ya. |

After the consideration, I have bought Creative's 3D BLASTER GeForce2 MX400, priced Y9,980 (about $77).
I also bought Gigabyte GA-7VTXH motherboard, Duron 1,200MHz processor, and DDR 256Mb memory. I wanted Athlon, but, after 2 days skiing, I ran out money. 
Thank you for advice, everyone.
