I'm convinced! :) The only thing Im convinced of is that I sure the hell don't have no "Pentium III 866EB, Soyo SY-6ICA i820 Motherboard, 128MB of 800MHz (400MHz. DDR) Techworks RDRAM, WD Expert AC418000 7200 RPM ATA66 Hard Drive" kicking round my place,do any of You? Perhaps a more realistic system would give the avarage shumck a better idea about what kind of performance to expect.That said,can't wait to get one! Tim

Slot From everything I've read on the V5, (and I think I've read just about everything on the web) it's actually more CPU dependant than the GF2 :( Ivan In article <_tEU4.10186$[email hidden]>, "GTX_SlotCar" <[email hidden]> wrote: > Ya Simon, it's just that the new cards, at least 3dfx, were supposedto be > less processor dependent.

Actually, that's a pretty good point, Tim. -- Slot www.slottweak.com Tweaks & Reviews "Tim Yuhasz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8fsksu$ltl$[email hidden]... > > I'm convinced! :) > > The only thing Im convinced of is that I sure the > hell don't have no "Pentium III 866EB, Soyo SY-6ICA i820 Motherboard, 128MB > of 800MHz (400MHz.

Well, generally speaking i820 boards don't perform up to the same speed as BX boards (believe it or not) and the speed of the RAM makes virtually no difference to anything. The HD is the same speed as mine, and the CPU is the only component that is noticeably faster (200 Mhz). If you want to know how fast the card is there are previews out there comparing it against a GeForce, GeForce 2 GTS and Voodoo 3. I do see your point though. :)

Ya Simon, it's just that the new cards, at least 3dfx, were supposed to be less processor dependent. So they'd run almost as fast on a 300 mhz computer as they do on a 600 mhz. I'd like to know how true this really is. -- Slot Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com "Simon Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:b7BU4.735$[email hidden]... > Well, generally speaking i820 boards don't perform up to the same speed as > BX boards (believe it or not) and the speed of the RAM makes virtually no > difference to anything.
