32MB Rage Fury (non-Pro) or 64Mb V5 5500?

digitalwanderer · Jun 24, 2003, 08:41 PM

I gotta swap out my GF4 which isn't really my GF4 anymore as I SHOULD have mailed it out this morning but ended up playing under a sprinkler for a few hours instead. (Nice weather + kids = FUN!

)

I have the 9000 Pro in a loaner box that a friend has 'til I can fix his POS 'puter, so until I get it back I have either the Rage Fury or the V5.

I played with the V5 a little on Bubbles and it was neat, but I put the GF3 back in awful quick. The Rage128 I am damn near tempted to go with out of strict sentimental value. Not only was it the first "real" video card I actually researched before buying (SHUT UP!

) but it was Blue's second video card after the Xpert98 so it almost seems apprapo.

Which do you think would be better for a multi-media web-cruiser/little bit-o-fun playing with a nostalgia card in a (comparatively) fast-as-hell CPU for it?

Please vote & feel free to comment, I got drivers for both cards ready and am just waiting 'til after I put the kids to bed to rip into it. (about 4-5 hours from now, but I gotta be done before the wife gets home about 2 hours after that.

)

Any opinions are appreciated, me thanks in advance.
