    GTS, GTS-V..Only difference is clock speed?

    for the price of the card it runs great. I compared it to my MSI gts and it was only a couple frames behind on medal of honor and that game seems to be killing everybodys FPS. doesnt have its own overclocking utility though so you would have to use powerstrip or something.

    Need Advise for Gaming Upgrade to BX motherboard

    a Visiontek geforce 2 gts-v would be a great card for that system and dirt cheap at $42. otherwise geforce 3's are getting fairly cheap but I am using the visiontek on a P3 700@900 and it runs everything I have pretty well.

    which games have problems on LAN

    yes, I wasnt sure if it should be the default protocol but I tried that too and at least in DF it made no difference though I can get that to start up pretty regularly now the client still doesnt find the server.
