Hi Mark, Disclaimer: I'm writing this from memory and my memory's crap. A good GForce3 is better than a cheap GForce4. I bought a GForc4 MX but had problems with it (known conflict with some m/boards - MSI card and MSI m/board didn't even go together). I was told to get a GForce3 TI as it was much better. This I did, and I am VERY impressed with it. As NVidia make the chipset and all the manufacturers then use those chips, they'll all be pretty much the same as each other depending on which chip they use. The only differences will be in the dimensions of the board (very important as these boards are big and even on my full tower system I had some serious re-arranging to do), build quality (can't help here) and the size of the heat sink/fan used. As the same NVidia drivers will be used regardless of which board you get, it won't make any difference when you come to configure your system which you choose.
