Advantages: cheap general purpose

Disadvantages: still overpriced/bad performance wise

This card is well outof fdate now - everyone knows it. Therefore there is no need to get into the debate about how there are other more powerfull cards etc... However, when the performance of the card (and its other 3dfx brothers) is lower that that of the original TNT (let it be slightly overclocked)
which is 1 year older, you cant give it a high rating.
More importantly, with the price/performance ration it also looses out to virtually any card out there.
I know a lot of people have rushed out and bought this card as a result of the excellnt performance of the Voodoo2 series, and therefore are not going to bad mouth it. However any benchmarking professional or even an amateur (eith 3dMark 2000) will tell you exactly how crap it is.
