The latest and greatest card I have is a refurbished Gainward Golden Sample GF2 ti500 + ViVo
I am planning on getting a P3 motherboard with an 815e (b step) and Celeron 1.3. I'm not an overclocker so I just need a stable system.

The GF2 is in a 550 Athlon (AMD 751 chipset) and I also have a Asus P3CL with P3 At 1ghz that uses a Radeon LE. I want to know should I buy a Radeon 9000 Pro now, or wait for a 128 MB version? I cant seem to find it anywhere, and all the Radeon Pro's I see are OEM and 64 MB. I wanted a GF3Ti500 or above (but to pricey), but stabilty wise ATI is better (for me anyhow)

I was looking to wait for Radeon 9500, but I dont know. It would be too expensive (above 200) So any one have advice on which card to get for a Celery/815e b step setup?? Until I decide; I got 11 MB shared memory to go on.

PS. Is the Radeon 9000Pro 128MB going to be AGP 3.0 compliant?? (8X)

just ordered mine from buyaib.com for $92, free shipping. Built by ATI. MeDave, did he get a DVI-to-VGA connector in the box for a second CRT? This has been bugging me, and I can't figure it out from anywhere.

$90 for a Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB! NO WAY! I have seen them for $160 but not for that cheap!
