Its a good card in my opinion....you can get a faster card for the price you'd pay for a 3500, but it does come with a TV tuner which is useful sometimes. I bought the 3500 last October and got a really good price for it so at that time it was a good deal for me. It does have the drawbacks that all Voodoo3s share....however I personally don't care for 32-bit color too much and it does run all the games out today very well. I like the 2D quality of the card very much........and Glide is very useful to me since I play UT a lot....some people complained of poor drivers...but I have never encountered such problems. Its probably not a good idea to buy it NOW ...unless you can get it real cheap.....say around $150 or so....
