I just put a v3 2000 in my celeron 400 PC and it flies.  I can't get tfc to
work anymore though.  It worked with my v2 12 meg but there must be some
setting or config that I have missed.
As to whether or not it's worth it, I only had a 2 meg 2d card and was
afraid that my computer would run too hot if I tried sli - so for me it's
great.  Plus I can sell my 12 meg voodoo 2.
