OT: I put in an All-or-none order for STBI this morning online and called by broker when it didn't show even when the bid fell below mine. The broker said this is because of the AON request and they don't 'have' to show it as the current bid. Can this be right? Thanks in advance. Peter S

V3 vs PIII for a P200: Bad editorial! To recap the editorial, the author has a P200 with a Voodoo1 card. He decides that a V3 will be the appropriate upgrade for him. This is incorrect for several reasons, also pointed out in the "Talkback" section beneath the article: 1) A V2, much less a V3, on a P200 (not MMX) gives no to neglible performance increase. I know. I had one. I gained .2 FPS in Q2 going from a Monster I to a Wicked3d. It's possible the V2 was running at 800x600, but I don't think so. 2) The only V3 usable by him would be the V3 2000. A great buy at $129, but the author thinks he'll want to use it when he upgrades to a PIII. And waste that AGP bandwidth? Tim
