This business of "the quality", I am happy if the image is sharp and like what I get on my onboard vram or twin turbos to be perfectly frank! Scrolling speed is terrible on my twin turbos but I expect that to improve with almost any other card! As for quality, any further explanation? I don't play games, I make websites, do printing layouts in Illustrator and use Photoshop and Fireworks a lot, and read a lot of text (this is important), amuse myself seeing short film clips and flash and stuff people send but beyond that I am not too fussed. I don't want fancy. So maybe this Voodoo 3 3000 might do me for now for the 7600 if I can get one. David Elmo (I hate buying things because I am so damned indecisive.
