I just replaced my trusty V3 3000 with a Radeon 64. I'll be putting up a mini review when I get time to put it together. A quickie...2D is every bit as good as the V3 and my old Matrox. 3D is great. Fast, and beautiful. Tried it with Q2, Q3, HL, UT, Serious Sam, ST Elite Forces. All work perfectly. Driver install was a piece of cake. One surprise was UT in DirectX. After running it in Glide and hearing how crappy the Direct is, I was ready for a disappointment. Was I shocked! UT in DirectX rocks! Very smooth and looks great. Better than Glide! Must just be a problem with other <*cough Nvidia cough*> DirectX drivers. So far, I'm very happy with the card.
BTW, I got mine from Hawk on the For Sale/Trade board. I got a new retail shrink-wrapped 64 meg version for $250. He may have a couple left. He is going to stop selling them at the end of the week.
