not sure aboutnyou guys!


Gefroce3...pretty good. but not worth £329, maybe £30. if you really...really...and i mean, you dont have a clue and really want this card, then here is a good deal: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NVIDIA-GeForce3-ti500-core200-MHz_W0QQitemZ230052809868QQihZ013QQcategoryZ67863QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

if you got it, then have a go at overclocking it, Being cooled enough, the GeForce3 Ti500 can get its frequency up to about a decent 250/280 (580) MHz. While the memory overclocking is impressing (although it is only 10 MHz over the rated frequency), the GPU speed, which is higher by 20 MHz, is moderate.

Note:
in course of overclocking you must provide additional cooling, in particular, for the card (first of all, for its memory);
overclocking depends on the definite sample, and you shouldn't generalize the results of one card to all video cards of this mark or series. The overclocking results are not the obligatory characteristics of a video card.

have fun

Verdict

If you must have the current leading-edge in 3D graphics acceleration, this is it -- but be prepared to pay handsomely.

Typical price

£ 329

So if you upgrade to XP SP3 you can't uninstall Internet Explorer, I'm quite sure I'm having a Deja-vu feeling about MS preventing people from uninstalling Internet Explorer in other Windows products.
