does anyone use the rage 3d?  i have an ati 3d pro turbo pc2tv with 8
megs sgram and it is a great card (aside from the fact that you cannot
change color depth without restarting the computer as you can do with
diamond cards and some others with the quickres utility) and you could
output games to a tv if thats what you are into (for instance a 27" or
larger screen).
