You just bought your new ABIT BH6 & Celeron 300A combo, you have it running at 450MHz, so what video card do you get? Forget about buying a single Voodoo2, and pick up the Canopus Spectra 2500. This is the absolute best companion for the Celeron 300A clocked at 450, not only does it give you performance identical to that of a single Voodoo2 running on a Pentium II 400, but it is also quite affordable when you consider that the overall cost of one of these high performance systems can hit quite close to the $1000 mark. Once again we get playable performance at 1024 x 768, as well as the option of going to higher resolutions if you don't mind sacrificing some performance, as well as eliminating the need for a separate 2D accelerator since the Spectra 2500 is a 2D/3D solution unlike the Voodoo2. Imagine spending $150 on a processor, $120 on a motherboard, and $200 on a video card and receiving unparalleled performance for under $500, that's what you call an upgrade.
