O.K., I have been objective, now I'm not. If your going to get a Voodoo3 3000 for $79, why not buy a Voodoo5 5000 for $30.00 more which has in addition to the GLIDE support, support for OpenGL and at least playable support for RAVE (colors are funny sometimes). The V5 also has QuickDraw acceleration, QuickTime acceleration, and QuickDraw 3D acceleration. I get good Photoshop acceleration, can play Hexen to Myst III, I have good acceleration in Acrobat (finally!). The V5 truly is one of the best all around cards ever. Not as fast as todays card and RAVE limited, but great in everything else. Besides, you can always sell it used for $75-$150. Sorry if I'm ranting.
