ATI Rage 128 AGP or Radeon PCI ?

[gucio69]

I'm building a new system for my gf and I have a Rage 128 32MB RAM and Radeon PCI 32MB RAM that I can put in it.Which one do you guys think I should use ? System will P III ~600Mhz on an Abit board with 128 Megs of RAM. B & W and Midtown Madness 2 will be the most demanding games played on it. Besides that she will only use it for accesing internet and mp3's. Please post your opinions. Thanx.

The Radeon is faster and has better drivers. I'd have to have a gun pointed at my head before I touch any pre-Radeon card from ATi.

The 32MB SDR PCI is outperformed by the Voodoo3 in 3D games. It does have TV-out and DVD hardware assist, and good looking 2D.

Another vote for the PCI Radeon

I doubt it. Also I'm pretty sure that a Rage 128 is slower than a Voodoo3.

rage 128 has excellent 2d quality, decent 3d acceleration but not enough for B&W
Radeon pci it's the one you should go for.
