New GEFORCE 3 Gaphics card or PS2 with GT3 ?

Can't decide

PS2. I never regeretted it. In fact PS2 with SSX Snowboarding is worth the price of the console alone.

And you can get some games off me next time you're in the village...

I don't even have a PS2 but I'd say get that instead of the GeForce 3. GeForce 3s are very pricey for what they are IMO, and you just don't need that kind of power yet. Do you?

My problem with my PC, is that I've just built a beast of a machine (1ghz athlon running at 1.4 with 256mb of ram) but is running on my old graphics card(16mb riva 1), so It is not running at it's full potential. In the word's of Tim Allen "More Power". On the other hand though, GT3 has just come out and damn I want that game. I will end up getting both but I can only afford one at the mo.

Depends on how good your computer is already. I have a P3-933 with 512MB of RAM, and my GeForce 256 works fine, as long as I don't play Quake 3 Arena at 1600x1200 or higher resolution.

I run Quake3 @1600x1200 PIII450 256MB /w 32Mb RivaTNT2, runs ok but explosions can jump it sometimes :)

I have an old GeForce DDR running on an Athlon 550 w/128 and I don't really have much trouble running anything. Get the PS2 and upgrade to the GF3 when you have the readies to spare.

Do you have a DVD player.

If not, then the PS2 is excellent value.

If you do, then sorry mate it's up to you, there both good buys.
