[CUBE] GF3 vs. Radeon 7500

[Hal]

You could, but I prefer not having to mod the Cube. I'm trying to weigh 
the potential performance gain of the GF3 versus the silence of running 
the 7500 with no fan. I actually have both cards, but am too lazy to 
swap them and run benchmarks. I'm also not sure what benchmarks to run.

I ran Quake3 on the 7500 and get around 47fps running at "normal" 
settings (800x600). If I remember right I got about 57fps on the GF3 at 
the same settings.

Any other benchmarks people want to recommend?
