Here in the UK, a Matrox Millennium G200 comes in at �89 +vat. A Voodoo II
of same memory configuration comes in at around �140. Add to this the fac
that Computer Shopper UK benchmarked the G200 faster than a Voodoo II and
gave it their best buy award, I know which one I'm buying. The days of the
standalone 3D card are numbered, as manufacturers push for a common
standard, such as Direct3D or OpenGL, both of which the Millennium G200
supports. Voodoo II just has too much silicon to warrant it; combined with
the image degradation its pass through cable adds, AND the take up of
another PCI slot, it just doesn't add up. Millennium G200 is gonna knock all
the crap ATI cards for six as well. I'm looking to see a review of PowerVR
II, TNT and Savage first, though.
