Did you try the new Voodoo3 3000? My son is currently using the 2000 and
it's faster then my Viper 550. I checked out the latest tests in Gaming
magazine, PC computing etc before deciding and the concensus was that the
new Voodoo3 3000 was the best available. Maybe not.... <Shrug> We'll have
to wait and see! I may end up trading up if it isn't.
