I have noticed a considerable difference in the price of GeForce 2 cards
depending on manufacturer.  The well known brands are much more expensive
than other "unknown" brands -- such as Apollo.

Anybody have any experience in this area -- are all cards with the same
chipset much the same .  I do realise that some cards have additional
features .  I'm really only looking for a basic GeForce 2 based card to play
games with -- no need for TV out , DVD, etc.
