    Okay, I have this dilemma. I was looking at my local computer store and noticed this card I hadn't seen before.<br>
    <br>
    It's a 128 MB card and I thought that for $99.99 it's a great deal.<br>
    <br>
    However, I really don't buy any computer-related stuff without reading some reviews. It seems, though, that these reviews are non-existant. They must be new.<br>
    <br>
    I want to ask you people if you've had any experience with this card and, if so, how you liked it.<br>
    <br>
    If anyone wants to check the card out, follow <A HREF="http://www.maddogmultimedia.com" TARGET=_blank>this link</A>.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks much in advance.

    Okay. Is it an ATI chipset? Radeon? Rage?<br>
    <br>
    Or, does ATI make them?

    Ummm...on the ones that use ATI chipsets, they tell that they do. This one they don't say who made it.

    Well, I would advise those people interested with this card should shy away.<br>
    <br>
    The chipset is actually SiS 315L, which isn't all that good.<br>
    <br>
    Here's the lowdown: whenever I play CS, the menu selection items (which are animated... simply) are extremely slow. I am able to get into a game and I pull about 70fps. Not bad, better than my original 14 or so fps...<br>
    <br>
    However, a few minutes later, the game crashes. I've followed all the instructions in the FAQ section of the site. Still, no dice.<br>
    <br>
    So in summation: <IMG SRC="smileys/puke.gif">

    actually, the apollo SiS 315 pro deluxe, w/128mb sgram<br>
    is a damn fine card! i picked it up for $70<br>
    <br>
    3,069 3dmarks 2001<br>
    <br>
    runs high frame rates,--no environmental bumping<br>
    <br>
    but for the features- dual display /w tv out capabilites, and hardware dvd decoding, it was a steal- i replaced the voodoo5 i have in my spare computer with it<br>

    3069 ??,thats low. My 2 years old GF2 MX can reach 3199. Stay away from that MAD DOG video card. I would say that you should get a GF3 Ti200. It only cost around $30 more. But if you still wanna get a video card that cost $99 than get a GF2 Ti.
