It matters what kind of games you play...

but I would say that if it's only 180 MHz, go with the V3...I have a
P200MMX, and with my V3 3000 PCI (at this CPU it doesn't make any difference
between 2000 and 3000, I think) I can play UT at lowest settings (rather
ugly) at 20fps. That's pretty nice for a 200MHz processor. Quake 3 is
another story, as it uses OpenGL, something the V3 sucks at, so if you play
Quake a lot, go for the TNT...
