Rating: - Awesome Price. If you like gaming, you will like this card.
I bought this for $99 a while back. I have put in many hours playing Half-Life and this card is great for gaming. If you PC has only PCI slots, this is the card to get. It was easy to install and very reliable.
I did a lot of research before I bought this card. It's top rated. Don't waste your time squinting at your screen anymore, this card rocks.

My nice dad gave me this card for Christmas, and as soon as I installed it in my old Pentium 200, I never looked at games quite the same way. They look positively astounding! This card will bring life you didn't even know existed from old clunkers like mine. Though varied, the refresh rate is beautiful on most stuff I've seen, and I can run games now that I never thought I would be able to. Judging by the price, if you're a college kid like me, it's probably a very smart investment if you're looking for an inexpensive upgrade. So why do I only give it four stars? Well, I must be honest. The first card I installed was defective. It accellerated fine and functioned properly, but it displayed a constant blinking - - "grid" of pixels on the screen, evenly spaced. (and I did install it carefully while properly grounded) 3dfx customer service was rude to me once out of three times, but otherwise was nice about it, and the retailer my father bought it from replaced the product without much trouble. Drivers were slightly buggy for a while, but they seem to be fixed now, and it's probably safe to say that my mishap doesn't happen to most people. All in all, go for it!
Rating: - This is a great PCI card
I you have an onboard video chip, this is an awesome upgrade. The only problem is up disabling the onboard video chip. Email me if you need to know how.
My current system is 533mhz Celeron, 128 megs of RAM, Windows 98SE, 20 gig hard drive.
I used to play Unreal tournament at 512X384 with med and low settings at 16 bits, now I run at 800X600 at high detail settings. My monitor will not handle a high setting. Anyway the graphics at 50 times better than before. Quake 3, graphics are better and run smoother.
I you hurray up and buy, you can get $30 back from the 3dfx.
Recap: I love this card, graphics are 50X better than before. Buy this card if all you have is a PCI interface.
Rating: - Not good, but nice
It's a great card for stragidy games and older games like Quake 2 but for newer games like Quake 3 and Diablo 2 you need a AGP voodoo. a V3-3k is a great cad for these games. This card is a great card for PCI but i highly recomend a better AGP voodoo for todays games.
