I recently purchased a Visiontek Geforce 2 GTS for my secondary rig. I haven't played any games on it yet, but I am a bit skeptical. Why am I skeptical is due to the fact that my rig has a Pentium 3 "Katmai" @ 500MHz. I have the old pentium 3 core so i don't think I will see a noticeable improvement over an MX. If anyone has a Pentium 3 "katmai" and a geforce 2 gts plz tell me how your gaming performance is.
What would be even better is if someone tells me I'm just crazy and I should go to sleep.

well I'm tending to think that you will see a bit of a speed increase over the mx but I don't think it will be too earth shattering..... if that helps any

<< like around 20FPS maybe? >>



That depends on what game you are playing, detail levels, and screen resolution. But, all settings aside I'm thinking performance increase will be negligable.

I had in my secondary ring a GTS and a P3 450@500 (now it is a celeron 1GHZ) and it did run games acceptible, granted not at 1600*1200 but it did work and i can still play new games just fine. I just have to turn down some things. i get plenty more than 20PFS don't worry. Even Giants ran (most of the time) acceptible.
