for a lot less money, you could get a TNT2 which is a much better card than the voodoo3. IMHO of course!
the v3 doesn't have 32 bit color. ewww..
but if your PC is really slow, i think the v3 will be a better card.
if CPU <300 then videocard.voodoo3
else videocard.tnt2

or something. tnt2s are getting VERY cheap. look for a used one. wathc out for M64's though!

id like to make the distinction that while the 3000 allows yout o hook it up to a tv, the 3500 lets you watch tv, and listen to the radio

Is there any particular reason you're only going to get retail? You can save yourself A LOT of money by getting it as an OEM package. No fancy games and boxes but it'll save you a hella lot of monies.

Definitely go for the tnt2 then. you should be able to find decent 32mb ones for less than 贘 US. I like the one asus makes (the agp-v3800), it's got great utils for refresh rates & tweaking.
