Almost all cards nowadays are aimed at gameplayers. Gforce is a good card, and more memory isn't a bad thing, but there's been nothing introduced in years that matters to the non-gaming world (not counting workstation software like Autocad or Lightwave).Learn by teaching

Scott - Macs are not as bad for games as they used to be...in part because of the availability of these new cards for the Mac. My Mac friends are always trying to convince of how wonderful an OS it is for gaming...but my game playing days are behind me!
Chris - 2 fans!? had not seen that one yet. They might as well start attaching small AC units to these cards!

by SharonI am getting a new computer in several weeks. P4, 1.5 GHz and all the other goodies.
The computer comes with a Asus V7700 32mb GeForce2 AGP video card. My present computer has a Matrox Millennium G200 AGP video card. Does any one know if Asus is as good a Matrox?
Thanks....-
