I have run with both the 8mb and 12mb versions of the M3DII, and it's fairly
much like every other V2 card out there.  Suppose depends on if you like
Diamond's support or not.

Personally I have found Canopus cards to be better refined, but more
expensive.  Also, are you looking at the top model with fan and TV output or
the one without?
