Review: If you ever wanted to buy a graphics card this is the one to buy!! No matter what game you play on it, it will never have any "choppy" graphics and always runs liquid smooth, and if u have a high quality monitor u can get unbeliveable resloutions!! This card is much better then any other card out there! BUY IT!

Summary: be careful if you own a 2x AGP
Review: This card is not compatible with 1.0 compliant AGP. The confusing thing is you think 2.0 compliant is 2x, it is not. I called costomer service before buying this card. I had asked if 2.0 compliant was the same as 2x, she said 'right', that's was her only word! She odviously didn't know what she was talking about. I like Creative products, it's not that, I have the SBLive X-Gamer and it's excellent but I bought my PC only last year and this Anhilator 2 should be compatible with 1.0 slots but it isn't. Most other top of the line cards(Voodoo 5) are 1.0 compliant and AMD super7 compatible. I give it an extra star because it is said to be good on 2.0 AGP systems. No stars on mine because it doesn't work.

Summary: Very Nice Card
Review: This is a really nice card, the price is right since they removed useless features like ram heatsinks and video out. The memory is 6ns Infineon DDR ram. Card ships in a attractive box with drivers and some really cool Nvidia demos. It has a small HS/FAN that is exactly the same that came on most GeForce's. The newer 18 micron fab really helps cut down on heat. Running at 200/333 its already pretty fast, I found that I could do 220/390 without any problems. Furthermore the card is stable at 133FSB (89AGP) on BX boards for those of you that overclock. I give it 5 stars, its a basic board that does what it was designed for and does it well. 32MB ram isn't a problem, I found that it benched within a few frames of my Herc 64MB Prophet II; at this time I find that 32MB is just as effective and is much more affordable than the 64MB cards.

Summary: Very fast and worth every penny!
Review: This video card is really the best on the market I believe right now. It is very fast especially in T&L conditions and also in very high resolution 3D applications. I could get about 25-30 FPS in halflife at 640x480 (with a RIVA TNT on a PII 450), but I usually run at 800x600 and get 72 FPS (GeForce 2 GTS 32MB on a 1.1 Ghz AMD T-Bird). I've tested the card at 1024x768 and I get 72 FPS. At 1600x1200 I can get about 30 FPS, exceptional for a card at that resolution. Also, the FSAA is great (full screen antialiasing). I'd get this card be cause the extra 32MB or RAM on the card is not worth the extra price and I don't think that the GeForce 2 Ultra is worth the high price. So you know, I'd leave the first PCI slot done from the AGP just because all the GeForces run a little warm and you want that heat to disipate. Great card, I'd recommend it to anyone!

Summary: A little ahead of it's time
Review: This was a great graphics board. But not for me. The reason? I still have a thing for those older games (By "older" I mean only 5 years ago or so) and I don't do too much more than business aapplications otherwise. Shooters like Doom3 and Unreal Tournament shine here (although they may need a bit of tweaking to get running correctly) and Flight sim fans can get smoother frame rates at maximum detail too. But otherwise it's overkill for the rest of us. This is a graphics board for the future, and I had a lot of problems with older games and programs, especially DOS based stuff. Yeah, I know, not too many of those left, but the point is I still use them and I don't need the headaches of all the lock-ups and crashes. If you have a brand new computer and plan on using just the most modern games and programs, by all means, this is the one to get. Otherwise, the cost doesn't justify nearly equal performance for day to day computing.
