Nope, I replaced a Monster 1 with a Guillemot Banshee on my P5-200 and
the improvement was remarkable. ..... !!   Remember the Banshee 2D
is the fastest 2D "consumer" PC card, bar none, let alone the 3D
improvement. Do this first, then consider upgrading the CPU. You get
a super video card for a very modest outlay.

Guillemot also speedily repay their rebates. 3 weeks
for mine !! Remember, if you are claiming the rebate 
from the USA to use the correct  amount for Canadian
postage !

Thanks, Gullemot. Great card, great service, great price.

Also the "production" non-beta driver is now up on their
Web-site. If you need to flash the BIOS, please observe 
their instructions EXACTLY !
