Any Gainward Geforce 3 users out there?

I'm looking into a new Geforce 3 card when good ole DUBYA's tax relief check hits my mailbox in a few weeks I've been considering the binford 9000 version of the Gainward Cardexpert with the full meal deal (VIVO, DVI, etc) any of you folks out there running one of these bad boys? If so how do you like it? :D

I am using the Gainward Cardex Geforce3 w/ DVI and VIVO. So far it is a great card. Crisp clear 2D, fast 3D (havent gone below 99 fps yet). I haven't played with the TV in too much yet, but it looks pretty good. I notice a little bit of discoloration in Anime, but nothing too bad. Software bundle is great, and the card looks awesome. I only have a 300 watt power supply running all sorts of stuff, so I have only successfully completed 3dMark2001 once, usually it just quits after about 2 seconds. But the first time, at highest quality, I scored 5200 3dmarks. I expect if I were to lower Directx quality to 'Highest Performance' and was to up my FSB to 140 and overclock my video card a little, I would be in the 6200-6300 3dmark zone. Otherwise, a great card.
