Actually, with the Geforce 2, it is a fast card however, there are broken polygons, poor anti-aliasing and texture errors when running professional 3D apps. These events do not occur with the Oxygen line of boards so that is something to consider. Of course Carrara was not one of the apps that was tested for this problem also, If you are not a HELL-BENT HARDCORE 3D artist, these problems would not even bother you and may not even notice. I for one have to look at my screen for up to 18 hours a day and errors like that stand out. Geforce 2 is a good all around card for games and 3D. I personally would not buy one as I am not a gamer. I am more in tuned with cards like the Oxygen GVXII or Intense 3D wildcat. That is because they were made to run with heavy 3D apps like Lightwave, Maya etc....
