Decided to capture and post this guide from THG in case the review decides to vanish one day. Take notice of the placement of VRM components as well the clock crystal as many GF3 cards do look alike just in the guide and this applies to many oem cards while some of the third party cards are noticeably different.

GF3 Ti 200 is the slowest of the series while the older GF3 is about 10% slower than the Ti 500, GF Ti 200 can be had cheaply for around $10 to 20 USD if one shops around. GF3 can be had from a range of prices but expect $30 to $40 easy while some it is higher. The Ti 500 is more rare and one has to know how to spot them should there be a chance to buy one cheap as one doesn't just have to go by part numbers alone from like from Dell, HP, Compaq, or even IBM.

The same as above applies in different ways to hunting GF2 era cards though clearly the pcb and component layouts are different. Would do a Geforce 256 hunting guide but need to get more familiar with their designs without being confused with other cards.
