Half? the lowest I could fine on Pricewatch for a V3 3000 with TV out was
$99. I think V3's are getting rare in Greenhills because of their notable
shortcomings (no 32-bit color, limited texture size, annoying "cloth
curtain" effect in Quake3) and because TNT2 class budget cards are very
cheap. A 32MB TNT2 M64 goes for 2700 or $64.
I seem to notice that lower-end 3D cards are the most popular (8MB OEM
Riva TNTs, TNT2 M64s, Vantas, Savage4s, and the most popular -- Intel
i810). So if you have stuff like V3s or TNT2Us they are pretty uncommon.
