I just voted as a Long. 'For' of course.

Has anyone else had the pleasure of careening down the luge in Powerslide? Weeeeehooooooooooo!!! The bumper cam view is glorious. Impossible to determine which way your car is pointed but it is otherwise a wondrous gift from the gods of 3D. So fast, it's kind of ridiculous. And no-one gets hurt.

I have been reading alot about how over-clockable the V3 is and there are a few V3 Tuning Tools floating about. This tells me that V3 owners are having a lot of fun with their new card. This is good.

Very well written IMO review of a TNT2 Leadtek card on AnandTech. Lots of info - too much to summarize. OK I'll summarize: V3 2k/3k kicks its scrawny little ass even in 16 bit. The TNT2 was on pre-release drivers but isn't this card shipping already? Also, Anand even over-clocked the TNT2 from 125 to 150Mhz to give it a chance but it was still 10+ FPS slower than a V3 2000. The SLI scored better. Leadtek are going to hurt Nvidia. The Quake Crusher scores beat the V3 3000 at 10x7 on a Pii 500 but not a 400 and the V3 wasn't even over-clocked.

Also, PC sales are still strong for now:
