I dont know about everyone else, but I would much rather buy the 3000 for
$20 more.
It has-
1. A higher clock speed out of the box with a heatsink already on the chip.
I overclocked mine to 183Mhz.
2. Higher triangle rate
2. A faster RAMDAC
3. 2 full games and the special edition Descent3.  Plus a coupon for Unreal
Tournament.
Is that not worth $20?
