Fine, but the questioner specifically said "for below 100". A card
that's good, but too expensive for his budget is not a reasonable
answer to the question!

Know that noise Sideshow Bob makes when he's stepping on those Rakes?
Thats the noise I make when I hear the letters A T I
Eugghhhhhhh
Only reason is bad drivers for the old Radeon - hopefully things will have
improved- but I've been badly burnt

I'll second Roger's recommendation, I'm very happy with my 8500, awesome
card.

Just about everything out there is kicking it's ass, with the exception of a
couple of tests. Since they are coming out with this at the tail end of the
Radeon 8500 life-cycle, and the NV30 isn't far behind, this does not bode
well for Matrox when it comes to hard-core ***.
Technologically, the card is a marvel. But, that monstrous 80 million
transister chip is keeping the clock speeds down, and it is showing badly.
I'm looking to replace my Ti500, but it's so hard to do anything right now
with the Radeon R250/R300 coming out soon.
Oh, and there is a _rumor_ of ATI Price Drops this week in preparation of
the release of the new stuff...

Now to buy a decent vid card.
Regarding the GeForce 3 Ti200....
There seems to be many variants? are they all the same or wot?
I've just bought Micro Mart (June 20th Edition) and it has loads of ads
for mail order/net purchase.
Many companies have more than one GeForce 3 Ti200, eg: www.aria.co.uk have
an ad which has:
Hercules Prophet III GeForce 3 Ti200 64mb = 142.00
Sparkle SP700T GeForce 3 Ti200 64mb DDR = 83.00
Whats the difference apart from the maker? is performance different?

I'm running a GeForce 3 Ti500 (VisionTek) and can pull over 100fps in NR2002
without working at it too hard...
I'm not saying it's the best buy right _now_, but it's hardly lame!
