1600*1200 without anti-aliasing. Card a little pricey at $299 but well
worth it. Anti-aliasing really spoils you. Don't think I could go
back to a card without it. Need a fast computer to really take
advantage of card because it is taxing on your CPU.

and currently running a Voodoo 3 3000 ...
quick enough to take advantage of the V-5's features and
graphics horsepower ???
Really? I have had both cards and the speed difference in sims is
negligible. With FSAA though I find running at high res is just too
much for this card. 800x600 and lower is usally good.

With a Coppermine P3 the card is fantastic, but for right now I would
recommend you wait and see if 3dfx is able to improve their drivers.
Don't play Nascar so T&L has no use for me still. Maybe for B172 I
will need T&L though.

*Three* hard drives?!? I thought I was bad having TWO... <g>
I considered adding another, but I already have 4 IDE devices. I don't feel
lucky enough to try adding another IDE interface.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

I am concerned, since systems of my type (Athlon/VIA KX133 chipset with a SB
live! soundcard) often have problems with Geforce cards. It almost sounds
like I have NO good upgrade path!
