i have a:

Slot-A Athlon 700
256megs of PC133 CAS2 ram
Geforce 2 GTS 32mb DDR
Creative 12x dvd
Philips Acoustic Edge
Cable internet!

I play a lot of Half Life based games like CS and TFC...i also plan to play future games, i also want to play tribes 2 at a decent framerate...its unbearable at 1024*768...

should i invest ~300 to a geforce 3? or wait for the next geforce...or a geforce 3 128meg if it ever comes out!

edit: i also use win2k

Upgrade your motherboard and processor and stick with the GF2 for now. Better bang for the buck.

Why buy one now when maybe 1% of games actually make use of the GF3's features? Wait 'til that's around 50% I say and that GF3 might very well be affordable to boot.

The GeForce3 is way ahead of its time. Stay with your 32MB GeForce2 GTS. It's more than powerful enough for today's and tomorrow's games. Upgrade your CPU, first.
