OF course there\'s the money.

But if I\'d win in lottery, then I\'d probaply buy that Hercules :)

But what\'d be the best choice for a student with not so much money?

Quality=price. Can you recommend something to me?

They will definetly use 3DFX\'s FSAA technique since it\'s superior to their current one.They are rumored to be using some of they technoligy 3DFX was developing for their next gen chip called Rampage.They won\'t be supporting Glide (it\'s a dead API so it doesn\'t really matter)

At the moment Geforce 2 and Radeon are the best hardware, but Ati:s Drivers suck Big time.. so geforce2 is best if u want to buy card now..

Nvidia should release its new hardware "NV-20" at end of this month, so if u have money and don\'t need new card today.. id say wait.

NVIDIA owns 3DFX now...

Could be :)
Tbirds are very cheap (265$ for a 1,2Ghz Tbird) and outperform P3\'s and P4\'s in just about everything but Q3A,thanks to the super floating point units in the Tbird (3 to be excact).
If Intel procs come out ahead it\'s because the program has been SSE enhanced and AMD\'s next gen procs will have SSE2 instruction sets and 3DNow instruction sets.
(yes your talking to an AMD whore here ;))
