System Spec:
Its white, shiney and has a 32Mb G400 in it.
What more do you need to know?

The G400 seems to be built for D3D and as such programs like 3DMark99 show the G400 ahead of cards like the TNT2. If you've got a P3 or Athlon, the Turbo GL for the G400 gives a strong performance in GL games. The G400 will not use 3DFX Drivers and infact the TurboGL doesnt like SLI Voodoo 2's being present.

All I can add is that Unreal Tournament, Freespace II and Homeworld on my system rate as some of the most fluid games I've seen on my PC.
