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.
