Try posting a WTB thread in the For Sale forum, or a post in the Wanted thread in the Hot Deals Forum.

If you post/look in the video section of Anands site you'll probably get more responses. I have one and I love it!

several threads in the other forums about this already. Personally i'd stay away from a card that no longer has support.

great card for $117+shipping+applicable tax. I bought one for $250 and I still like it.

I think it's an excellent card, unless your favorite games are heavily T&L based like Giants.

I think it's a pretty good card, great FSAA, but as many have already said, not that much life left in it. :(

I have one and I love it, the current drivers are great...but I wouldn't count on much future support, I figure by the time I need to worry about drivers it will be time to get a new card anyways.

Get a GF2 or a Radeon if I were you.

I just reluctantly gave up my voodoo3 3000, now I have a voodoo 4500. Yes its way slower than a geforce and 3dfx is out of business, but it plays everygame I have with no problems.

I have owned several geforce cards and I had problems with several programs (even stuff like laplink). Everything runs on the voodoo just fine. When there is a game that I really want to play and the voodoo cannot handle it, then I will break down and get a geforce or a radeon.
