I don't know if the PNY Gf3's are any good but they are selling them for $305 on pricewatch with a lifetime warranty. I just thought some people here might like to know.
I know this should be in cyber deals but who knows if they'll actually stay at this price for any real length of time and more people will see this here.

One member has already bought the card and had some problems... he ended up returning it. I personally won't buy anything but Visiontek, Leadtek, or Asus as they are trusted names (maybe not Visiontek, but no one's complaining about their card). For the extra $40 I'd rather guarantee problem free operation.

How about the Gainward CardExpert Geforce3? Tom gave that a pretty good review on his website (http://www.tomshardware.com).

I bought a pny geforce 2 gts pro and when i first installed it i had major conflickts with my old video drivers. I went ahead and reinstalled windows98se and everything works fine. My default speed was 201/401 which is much higher than the leadtek cards. I overclocked it to 243/445 stable as hell and with very little atifacts.

I've heard that hercules cards a pretty good. I just read somewhere that they are optimized for amd cpu's.

The manufacturer for the Morpheus is actually Absolute Multimedia (HERE (http://www.absolutemm.com) is their website). It looks like a pretty good card. It was in the middle of the pack in the massive Anandtech GeForce3 round up that had the Morpheus, Gainward, Hercules, MSI, Powercolor, Asus, and the Suma (I have a Suma GF2MX, it is a great card). You can read the review HERE (http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=1507) . Personally, I would go with Gainward.

Neat thing about the Morpheus is that if u buy it on the Absolute Mutlimedia website, you can pick a free game to go along with two or three games that are already packaged with the card.
