ATI cards sucks - they r expencive and slow - don't even think about ATI. about support for riva - maybe maybe - but do u want to buy a card for 200-300 $ and wait for future support? I u don't. So - u have one choice - 3dfx - u can be sure - any game u buy during next 2-3 years will be accelerated with 3dfx (i talk about DIRECT PORT not about direct3d). ofcourse riva128 has higher direct3d performance but higher direct3d performance and higher performance not the one thing - remember - u will never see Quake direct3d port - and directly ported games are looked more pretty. -kostyan -------------------------------------- [Trance ForEver] [Liberty Style Dance]
