GTS is a lot faster than any MX card. More mem does NOT mean more
speed, it just lets you run a higher resolution.

GTS, Pro or Ultra are all good :)

it does mean more speed, as it means less texture-thrashing.
probably doesn't make any difference for racing sims, though.

Geforce 3 cards are now down to $300.  Why buy a GF2?  If you
must......then get an ULTRA or PRO only....GTS is slower...I just
removed one from a system that ran N4 crappy (removed it for that
reason).  Although, it did run GPL "okay"...but not great.

Of course...you needn't buy either....unless you have a P3-800 and
up...minimum!  Without that.....these vid cards would be a waste of
money.  (You probably already know that.....but some others visiting
this newsgroup might not).

Regards,

Tom
