I take it, you own one or are ready to buy one? It is the hottest and
most modern gaming card, and there is no question about it. But it is
not the only one, and my question is, does a typical user utilize the
novelties provided by GF3 in everyday work, and if these advantages are
worth the extra money. Besides, you need an AGPpro slot to be sure it
will work reliably.
Since David's price range is beyond the cost of GF3, he might shop
around for a better card. http://www.anandtech.com might appear helpful.

Good luck,
Pavel
