Re: [newbie] Diamond Stealth III S540 agp videocard
I found a wonderful source for indepth news and reviews. http://www.tomshardware.com After researching the matter completely, I have discovered that this is indeed an inferior card. I will be purchasing a voodoo 3 3000 AGP or possibly a vd3 3500. Look at the numbers - for the price, the voodoo is better. http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic/99q3/990920/s540-01.html Thanks to everyone that replied, your comments are appreciated.
