Big Bruin has a review of a 256MB XGI Volari V8 AGP Graphics Card:
For those shopping for a graphics card in the $100 price range, the 256MB XGI Volari V8 is an excellent alternative to anything available from nVidia and ATI. Those considering nVidia cards in the FX 5500 to FX 5700 range, or ATI cards in the 9500 to 9600 range, may be able to save a few dollars, get extra multimedia features, and/or get greater performance by opting to venture out of the mainstream.
