I read a review about the Asus Geforce 3 a couple of days ago. I don't know where. I didn't know Hercules released their card. But Anyway, if you're getting a 350+$ card, 20$ is nothing. They say Hercules has better drivers, stability but the asus aren't bad either. The Asus card looks amazing with its golden heatsinks though, the Hercules isn't that bad of blue (still amazing).
Sh!t Happens.
