I have their Banshee Card (Phoenix) - It's a fine piece of hardware.  I also
owned a Voodoo1 card from Guillemot and had no regrets.  Got the Banshee
Card at Best Buy (Open Box) for $89-$20 Mail-in Rebate!  Can't beat that!!!!
It's also great if you're limited in the number of available slots.  Mine is
a AGP version!  No problems in Win98.
