@agent_x007 - thanks for the 3dmark2000 120/150 comparison :D

I found a GF256 DDR CT6970- from Creative but it is bundled with 3 other cards - two GF3 Ti200 and one GF4 Ti 4200.

All sell for about 45EUR. The catch is they are untested and sold ai is. They are a package deal or NO DEAL. :D Sheeeshhhhh

The GF256 looks well and only has a torn wire from the fan.

The two GF3 Ti200 look great.

The GF4 Ti 4200 has a bigger fan put on it.

I had my share of gambles and up to this day I always won but this add made me ponder....

Hmm... what to do? :D I'm close to 100 video cards - should I buy 4 more???

Ah the memories flood back.. That Celeron 300a was the CPU to have back then. OC'd like a champ and when OC'd beat out the Pentium 2 in all games and most everything else. Good times!
