The GeForce 3 is really old. I remember when it came out...I think I was a sophomore or junior in high school! I'm a junior in college now. If you bought a GeForce 3 any time in the past 2.5 years, then you still bought it old. The GeForce 4 series came out in early 2002! The Radeon 9800 Pro is only a little over a year old. It'll last 1.5-2 good years with any game on the market. Will it run it at 1600*1200 with 16x front side antialiasing with 8x anisotropic filtering? No. Will it run the game good and playable? Yes.

Cool, thanks. Although it pisses me off that these fuckers released it so soon after the 9800. All the people who bought that must be pissed.

The Radeon 9800 series has been out for a good year, year and a half. That's the usual lifespan of a videocard until a new series is released. Ya can't forget that the Radeon 9800 Pro costs $200 now. The worst of the new X800 series is $300, with the Platinum Edition XT costing $600. Yes, six hundred fucking dollars! The Radeon 9800 Pro buyers may not have the best, but they do have the best deal, especially considering they have a card that's gonna last for 1.5-2 years.
