Best Banshee Board?

Hi, I have decided to get a Banshee board, but I'm not sure which brand is best. I want great performance in GPL, but would like AGP (so no Voodoo2), plus I am on a tight budget. I currently have a Stealth 2 (Rendition), but it is holding my system back (P2-350). I have Windows 98 and a big, wide open AGP slot. I have thought about the Thriller 3D, but I would like a board that will be fast for a while. Also, what frame rate can I expect at 1024x768 with one of these cards? Thank you, Ryan Kocher

My advise is to buy the one that is the cheapest, as they are all based on the same chipset. GPL should run in the 30+ fps range for you. I had some problems with the CL Banshee Blaster, but fixed it with drivers. You should be very happy with the frame rate increase with the Banshee.

I've a Phoenix card and the framerate in GPL is great, the only problem is that you get strange colors in GPL (not seen this in other games). I think it's a typical GPL problem. I read about this in this ngp, but i haven't found a solution. If you like flightsims to (F4, TAW etc.) go for the Banshee. Good Luck

Don't have anything in the 2d backround in windows and that fixes GPL with the weird colors. Arthur Stealth Racing http://www.***sys.com/stealthracing.html
