i am going to be building a new system in a few days, with a: Duron 700, MSI K7T Pro2A, Samsung 900NF, 128mb PC-133 etc.
origionally i was going to take the voodoo3 2000PCI out of this machine(it's a dell with onboard video) and put it in my new one. i love the 2d of this card, and 3d performance isn't bad, except if i put it in the new box it'll have to run on a 19" screen instead of a 17", and the 900NF is much better quality than this dell screen 😉 i play mostly UT and Deus Ex, frame rates aren't as important to me as the quality of the picture. i found an Asus V7100 Pure for $192cnd(sorry, not sure how much that is in USD 🙁) or i could get a Voodoo5 5500 for $294. i know the voodoo is much more expensive, but if it's going to give me what i want i may just have to wait a little longer to upgrade my voodoo3. i would look at a voodoo4, but it doesn't seem worth the money as the performance doesn't appear to be that much better than my good ol voodoo3 😉 so nowi have to make a decision, the GF2MX, or the voodoo5. any input is appreciated 🙂 (also, is the $192cnd for the Asus a good price? it's been a looong time since i went shopping for a video card as you can see 😛)
