Which of these would you use for setting up a build for mostly gaming and some benchmarking / testing...

Going to have it most likely paired with an AMD Athlon 800...

What processor would you pair the loser of the two with?

Thanks for the suggestions ahead of time....

I assume you meant GeForce2 GTS. Well, Gloria II is pretty much 64MB GeForce 256 (Quadro actually) SDR/DDR. It depends - Gloria II Pro is using DDR memory and non-pro just standard SDRAM.

Performance wise GF2 GTS is faster... and easier to get. On the other hand everyone has GF2, so if you like something different - Quadro is not bad either, especially the DDR variant which shouldn't be that much slower. Btw - Gloria II Pro exists in two variants - AGP Pro and regular AGP 4x.

Yeah, I meant the GeForce 2 GTS.

I actually have both of them, so just deciding which to use,,,

I will have to check my GLoria II to see what version it is....but I wasnt sure how the GLoria II was for gaming.

The Quadro driver should be very similar to GF driver, maybe a little bit slower but no significant difference. Another possibility is to force the card to use regular GF256 driver via device manager. In that case it should be 100% identical to GF256 from software point of view.

Btw - Athlon 800 is a good match for both GPUs.
