I have a Celeron II 566mhz oc to 950mhz. Don't know which one I should keep and put the other in my sister's computer because to me the performance are very similar. One is the Voodoo 3000 running at 190mhz, the other is the TNT 2 running at 165 core & 190 memory. Give me some suggestions please!

Keep the Voodoo3. It just runs a lot faster in older games, even in newer games it still keeps up very well against the TNT2.

Keep the voodoo3 3000! My voodoo3 3000 out performance my dads tnt2 ultra anyday and he does not have the M64 tnt either. Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament both run much better on my voodoo 3000 then on my the tnt.

While I have no direct experience with TNT2, I certainly can say that I have been quite pleased with the performance of my non-overclocked Voodoo 3 3000 PCI cards. The only way I would consider a change would be if someone threw a Geforce 2 MX or Voodoo 5 5500 my way.

Keep your Voodoo3 for Glide compatibility with older games.
It will also run games based on the Unreal engine a lot better than with a TNT2.

Keep the TNT2, you'll need it when Tribes 2 comes out (OpenGL)... plus it runs half-life (if you play counter-strike) like a charm. Plus there aren't any good glide based games coming out anyway... that's old news.

Keep the V3...especially if it's PCI. Even if you upgrade later, it's a great card to stick in an older rig.
