If you prefer using the higher end resolutions, you could stick TWO
V2's in your computer and use SLI.
This option is a fair bit cheaper than buying a V3 from scratch.
The TNT is cheaper than a V2 here ( Australia ) the only problem is the mirrors,
i.e. you have to change their refresh rate. This can get annoying when racing but
if you can put up with that I highly recommend the TNT.

I have a Pentuim II, 233 with 64 MB RAM. I have a Diamond Moster II with 8
MB and I can get almost 30 FPS in 1024x768, with all the details turned on.
I've seen GPL without a 3d support, and it's just not the same (FPS or
Quality of Graphics).

Only an impression, can be wrong.
