Hard to tell. You say you are a *game fanatic* so you wouldn't be happy
without the VooDoo. On the other hand you are buying a Compaq Presario..
Serious game fanatics build their own overclocked customize systems and talk

But get the Voodoo. The ATI is good for general purposes, but doesn't really
send the game fanatics heart to beating harder ..  :-)
