The biggest selling point for Creatives Ge-Force256 - 64mb (32mb test on
display) is the fact that it's NOT a graphics card. Well tell a lie, it is
but not in the sense you would know a GFX card as. It houses what's known as
a Geometry Processor, this is essentially like having a P3 CPU built onto
the card itself and thus takes the processing power literally 90% away from
the main CPU. For example, make a Pentium90Mhz supporting Motherboard with
an AGP slot and then stick a GeForce card in, that's all you would need and
you would still get outstanding performance.
