voodoo3 will cost $1150 US

$150 for the card and $1000 for a 21" monitor capable of 1600x1200 at 75 Hz. My 17 only does 75 Hz to 1024x768. -- Peter Ashley

By the time V3 comes out I surely hope that monitor prices will have dropped much further... Maybe 600-700 $ for the 21 " by that time? Oh shit a 21" requires an upgrade of my desk... The race never ends!!! >$150 for the card and $1000 for a 21" monitor capable of 1600x1200 at 75 Hz. >My 17 only does 75 Hz to 1024x768. >-- >Peter Ashley

$400-500 :) >$150 for the card and $1000 for a 21" monitor capable of 1600x1200 at 75 Hz. >My 17 only does 75 Hz to 1024x768. >-- >Peter Ashley

or if they put a tv out socket on it you can use it on a 42 flat widescreen wall hung Phillips plasma display - yours for a mere 13 000.00 GBP........ oh wait, I could get (another) real race car for that !!! :-D I have tv out on my Canopus card, but haven't run it to a tv yet...anyone had any experience of this? -Lindsay >By the time V3 comes out I surely hope that monitor prices will have dropped

The race never ends!!! Instead of upgrading, try overclocking. (Please see Tom's site). I purchased my computer desk - an Intel Mantle MMX, oc'd it to 5 legs (instead of four), screwed in a Voodoo2x4, and let me tell you, this baby is _rock_ solid.

I saw a 50 inch flat widescreen for 12 000 GBP the other day. Nearly tempted but didn't have change:-)

Look for a good used monitor or a refurbished one. I just picked up a 21 inch NEC 6FGE for 500.00 USD here in Atlanta thats freakin' amazing. This (USED) monitor does 1600x1600!!! Monitors are tough to wear out. I suggest you look to find a used one from a smaller dealer. My guy, who is excellent, is a little shop run by two Lebanese guys who will and can get or find ANYTHING. Max Klinger would be proud! Eric

Over-clocking does not work for everyone... I'm happy for those that push their hardware like this, and get away with it, but the caveats need to be given as well. People _have_ done expensive damage to their systems doing this, and this fact should be also presented along with the recommendation to overclock. Again, cool for those that do it and are happy. I just think people should have both sides of the story before they do this. -Larry

Just go to www.step-thermodynamics.com . They will put your mind to ease with a LIFE-TIME WARRENTY on their coolers and ALL CPU's bought from them UNCONDITIONALY..... eheh I know, my 450 is on the way...hehe Orion...

You only risk the CPU (C300A: 90$) Regards K.S. Br?nnick
