RAEDON DDR 32MB best interim card
 

I have scrutinized countless roundups and reviews for the best interim budget card to fill the gap between the present and the future (when I can afford a GeForce 3 or Raedon 2). With the exception of a few apparent glitches (listed below) I have seen NO mention of any specific problems with the RAEDON DDR 32MB in recent articles. These are the only flaws I have found presently substantiated in print:

16-bit alpha blending bug . . . Who cares, I’ll be in 32 (probably has been patched by now).
Performance drops in some Intel test systems . . . So what, I’ll have an AMD.
Major problems with Windows 2000 drivers . . . Bah, 98SE for me!

It’s also apparently true that in res above 10x7 the fps start to plummet but with my tiny 17” I will only very rarely exceed 10x7. Since the Raedon has proven test after test to maintain excellent image quality even in higher resolutions I don’t care so much about the fps numbers anyway.

Unless any of you can provide current links to prove otherwise I think the RAEDON DDR 32MB is the best choice for me. For an AMD/98se user interested in solid dependable performance with high-end image quality for low-end bucks this appears to be the best choice. To those of you who have helped me arrive at this decision Thank You for your kind assistance . . . It’s not easy to pick the right video card these days! http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif

I must apologize for deleting the rest of this thread. I thought I pressed "back" and even if the box was checked it shouldn't have activated that should it? Anyway, I was just trying to disable that "notify via e-mail" option since the thread was continuing on about something completely separate from my original topic. Can any of you tell me how to do that without deleting the entire thread? My bad.
