ok i haven''t really been doing anything with computers for the past few months and am kinda behind here. plus my current card is messed up (bleeding colors and stuff cause it overheated) don''t start flaming but what 2d/3d cards should i consider getting? cash is no problem. i was looking at the Hercules 64 meg 3d prophet II. anything else? this the the first time i''ve even been on this site in like 4 months, jeez.

If you''re concerned with image quality and have a use for VIVO, you might want to check out the ATI Radeon 64Mb.

I''d be a little concerned with driver quality also

That''s because you''re probably basing your opinion solely on, at best, second-hand information from people who made the mistake of thinking that the old Rage128 was anything but an OEM superstar. I won''t dispute that ATI has a very bad history of driver stability.

I''ve heard all the talk about crappy ATI drivers over and over again. They seem to have their act together now, the 3043 Win2K drivers are very stable and have boosted performance across the board on my system. The Radeon has made ATI a big player in the high end retail market, no matter what anyone says.

Sure, the GeForce2 will get you the highest frame rate in Quake 3. That''s not what matters for everyone though...the anti-ATI bandwagon is getting old...
