Ill go out on a limb and say that the rage 2 will be the better pick. But I'm not sure.

I think the S3 has a faster screen redraw, but the Rage2 + DVD will have overall better image quality and will slightly enhance DVD playback.

Switch to the ATI. :)

Psshhhh... NEITHER of these cards are even to be CONSIDERED for 3D, and neither performs any better than the other. (Though technically speaking, the RageII might actually get 100 3D marks vs. 50.) :p

These cards are to be considered for 2D desktop and video playback ONLY.
