A V2 SLI rig is just about the same speed as a V3 2000, often a tad
slower. A V3 2000 PCI is �78. The fact that a V3 1000 (just as fast) is
�38 makes �40-�50 seem expensive. The only thing stopping me getting one
is the lack of an AGP port. It's just a old machine that I'd like to speed
up cheaply. I don't consider �40-�50 cheap. Maybe �20. Guess I'll just
have to be patient.
