Hey everyone. i have posted here before, and i have a new question for all of you to ponder.
I am in the need of a new video card, and i was wondering which one i should get.
i can pick up a geforce2 pro card with 64 megs ddr and tv/out made by MSI for about $134 plus 7 for shipping.
then again, knowing how most people here (DONT TAKE THIS AS AN OFFENSIVE REMARK!) are sort of prejudiced towards ATI chips and the cards they come with, (i can tell by looking at previous posts about which card to buy), you will probably all tell me to go out and buy the radeon ve dual display edition with 32 megs ddr and tv/out.
however, i have read a few tests which show the MSI-831 being able to keep up with the geforce2 ultra, and EVEN WITH THE GEFORCE 3!!!
here is the link with the charts.

with this knowledge, and by the fact that it shows the radeon falling behind in performance, i think that i might be able to go for the GF2-pro instead.
BUT, since i got some good advice from this site before, and i have told a few friends to go here for info, i figured that i should come here and find out what you people said.
if you have any ideas, or suggestions on a card that will perform in games like unreal tournament, and quake3 arena, with compareable numbers to that of the msi board, and also for around the same price, that would rock...
oh yeah, one more thing, i was also looking at the new kyro, but i heard that thing has a few bugs, despite the performance. that is why i was sticking to nvidia and ati chips because they are more stable...
alright, enough typing for now..
