Pah.
you goofed on one thing...
Graphics card. Geforce 3 rocks.
What you've got there is all the trappings of a 22b, without the 2.2 litre engine and only the normal 2 litre one
Do the test on

The Radeon image looks far better than the Gefarce3 its to much money for what you get I will upgrade to the Radion 2 when it comes out (at a resonable price) it should get the same FPS as GEoforce 3 ( ULtra when it comes out ) and will look alote better - Trueform!!
Oh I also get better 2d (far far better) and Video in Video out)
I AM THE DADDY !!!
Wish I had got a DDR motherboard and DDR memory
Cheers tal

Got one of these nVidia Quaddro 2 graphics cards in my work PC. Think it is fairly high end, runs some cool demos.
Are these any good ? How do they compare against GeForce cards ?
(I still win)

Geforce 3 cost £297 inc vat and del. Sold Geforce2 gts for £100, so not so bad. Still stupid money for an extra few fps' 
Does go like Schtink though...
Better 2d performance or image quality? Radeons are great for image quality, but not the be-all-and-end-all in 2d performance.
Who cares? They all play games just fine Just put up the post in order to nominate myself for 'King of the money-wasting Muppets!'
Cheers,
Nick.
