Abit Siluro GeForce3 Graphics Card

Well, it's not powered by the new NVIDIA GeForce 3 Titanium , so it seems a little odd that Abit would come out with its new Siluro GeForce 3 card based on an old-fashioned garden-variety GeForce 3 GPU while the rest of the graphics moguls are announcing cards based on the new chip. However, the folks over at [H]ard|OCP seem to think the card is the cat's pajamas in their review , so you might want go over there and take a look. For an overview of a bunch of GeForce 3-based cards (but not the new Abit Siluro), you can check out Uwe's review from back in April.
