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.

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.
