I am going to upgrade: My main intrests are GPL, GP3, other racing games and Delta Force, Unreal, ..well lots of games. But: I also use my system for harddisk audio recording. I will buy an Intel P3 - 800 (overclockable to 960 with ease) Motherboard: ASUS CUVX or ASUS CUSL2 .. whats best for gaming and multimedia?? What the difference in performance between the chipsets? Videoboard: i think Geforce 2 GTS is the best: but is it worth the price difference? Are there any good Geforce cards with 2 monitor outputs? should I buy a GEFORCE 2MX card? Thanks

Karl I did some comparisons recently of an MX card compared to a Voodoo 3 3000 (I bought the MX to replace the V3). In all the car sims that I tested, except for the N4 demo, the V3 was as fast or faster than the MX, and I found the picture quality better on the V3. Needless to say, I returned the MX card. I think you would be happier with a Geforce GTS or (dare I say it?) a V5. I am now going to buy a V5, as I am sure it will run GPL better than anything else, and that's all that REALLY matters - isn't it? ;-) Cheers.. Phillip....
