: The 6000 seems harder to get but would be my preference. Anyone gotten one of these monster cards?

: Any thoughts?

I personally wouldn't get either. After the Voodoo 2 3Dfx's performance has just been sub-par when compared to nVidia's offerings. Read some reviews online and you might find yourself leaning towards one of the cards built off of the GeForce family of chipsets. And, with a GeForce, you won't be needing to supply the card with more power than the AGP slot can provide. Remember, fill rates aren't everything...
