I own an antique ATI FireGL X1-128, it kicks donkey butt, it's based on the R300 chipset in the ATI Radeon 9500/9700 family. It gives me over 100 FPS on high settings in CS:S.
But then again, ATI FireGL X3 is a super card for workstation.
i sent back an old elsa erazor III (TNT2) that broke, and i got back a gloria III (quadro 2 pro) a few years ago...that thing was about $800 when i got it and was fast as hell. now its its my gf's comptuer.
