A friend of mine whant to trade his Retail Box Visiontek GF3 for my New Geforce Pro Retail + my Retail MX .
I think this is a good trade no ??
And also how much CPU you need to push a Geforce3 @ good performances , ...i hawe right now a P III 1000 mhz but i will get a Epox 8K7A + 1.33 @ 1600mhz/mcx370 and 512 Crucial DDR 2100 if the 1000 mhz is not enough powerfull.
Do you think that the extra 600mhz will make a big difference with this Geforce3 or is just not worthit.
Thank you .

If you can afford all that, why not just wait till the Radeon 2 or GeForce 3 comes out and get one of those? 1GHz is plenty, and I don't see why you have to waste all your money just for a little improvement in your games. Wait and get a GF3 Ultra of the Radeon 2. Your GF2 Pro is fine, and it will be fine for a year, so don't waste money now when you can get something later.

Also, if you can afford all that, get it later (or similar stuff later) when you get your next video card and set up another computer with your PIII and GF2 Pro (if you can afford another monitor or if you have a spare one..)

I'd say keep you Pro and buy a new card later.

Edit -


<< Yes

GF2pro=$150
GF2MX=$60

$210

Visiontek GF3=$300

You save $90

Thats a deal..

Hmm... Well, if that is the case, how much will the GF3 go down after the Radeon 2 and Kyro III come out? If it goes down to $200, then... But if it won't then do the trade (you'll have to guess how much it will go down to compete, or if it will go down at all). Your 1GHz PIII is plenty.

Hes talking about right now, not December when the Radeon or Kyro3 might come out..

Come Christmas, your GF2's will be worth even less..

No i use only the Geforce Pro.,... and because i just bought this Pro (this friday) herre in Anandtech from Dave , i still hawe the old Prophet MX .
The original ideea was to sold the MX once i got this Pro but right now i hawe this opportunity so i think that i will go for it .
I mean i think is an excelent deal after all.
