Hello,
My system is a Pentium 166 MMX and I,m uppgrading from an ELSA Victory
Erazor Riva 128 wich was quite slow.
I have realised that if I don,t upgrade to a much faster system
Banshee is the only way to go,but wich card to get?
Where I live you can get CL or Guillemot,we are talking PCI here
and the price is actually 15 US dollar more for the Guillemot.

So my question is:
      most of the posts I have read and the reviews declare Guillemot
the winner of the two but that seems to be with a lot of importance
put on guillemots being much cheaper than CL abroad.
 So,if they are roughly the same price wich one to get?

Guillemot also has SGRAM,wich seems to be a big deal for most,but if
you have a slow system like mine will I notice anything anywhere with
SGRAM over SDRAM (CL)in real life gaming.

Best regards,Roger B,Sweden
