GeForce3 is a nVidias chipset used on all the boards, whether it's Visiontek, Leadtek, Hercules, Asus or whatever ...
The price difference will be only paid for:
1) the brand name of a certain company
2) Some useless additional software, which is normally a trial versions of games, etc..
3) Different paints and photoshots they put on the retail boxes.
Other than that all the boards have the same GF3 chipset, similar cooling system (I haven't notices any difference after testing Hercules, Visiontek and Leadtek GF3s), and same amount of memory at the present time.
Regarding new nVidia N25 chipset, that's true that it will be out by the end of fall somewhere.
Yet it will not be mch different from the current NV20 chipset.
The biggest step was already done by implementing GF3 (comparing to GF2 ultra and any other chip on th market today),
