I own the Banshee card and aside from a few driver problems with AOL 4.0 I think it is a good card. If you do play games like quake that use multi-texturing you need the V2 for good performance, otherwise, the Banshee is just as good if not better (more memory). I run at 1024x768 and it does look great.
