I'm replacing my old PC with a P-II 350 (Asus mb) with AGP. My old Diamond
is staying behind and I'm selecting a new AGP card. The dealer is offering
the Creative Banshee with 16 mb for an $80 upgrade. I'd like some advice on
this card or other cards in the same price range.
In my opinion, stay away from the Banshee and go with a Voodoo3 if you
want a 3dfx product. 3dfx is targetting the Voodoo3 2000 for the
consumers that would have used the Banshee. A Voodoo3 2000 should
cost slightly more than the Banshee but will offer much better
performance and compatability. Keep in mind that the Voodoo3 is also
a 2D/3D card and not the 3D-only solution that the previous
generations were.

I have a 16MB TNT card, and a 12MB Voodoo2 3dfx card.
However I think the Banshee would be OK.
