What to look for in a 32mb dedicated memory video card?

I have this flying simulator that requires a video graphics card with 3D Accelerated Video and 32MB of Dedicated Video Memory. However, I am clueless on video cards except that I need a PCI. The one I have now is an integrated video card that will not work at all. I am looking at this GeForce2 MX4000 DDR 64MB PCI Video Card but is the 64MB "dedicated video memory?" What about the 3D Accelerated Video because no video card that I have seen advertises itself as 3D anything. Help someone? Thanks. BTW, I am on a budget!|||If you have a PCI slot, there are only a few cards worth considering. Current games are too demanding for any PCI card, but older titles can still be played.



The PCI GeForce 6200 is affordable- it's the best performer among older, low-end cards.



The GeForce 9500GT is the best card available in old-style PCI. It has the best gaming performance (but that's not saying much, because all PCI cards are extremely slow by today's standards). The 9500GT is better than more expensive cards you might run across like the Radeon HD 5450, 4350 etc.



The GeForce 8400GS is just a waste of money. Same for the GeForce FX 5200 and Radeon 9250. Those are fine for everyday work, but have terrible gaming performance.|||Yes, the 64 mb is dedicated. Any memory on a video card is dedicated. It should support the 3D as all graphics cards support it to some level.|||can that even run anything now a days?
