No, the NV03 is the RIVA128 chipset. The NV04 is the chipset for the TNT, the TNT2 (a sped-up version of the TNT w/ support for more RAM), and the Vanta (cheap-ass version of TNT). NVidia started marketing the TNT as the RIVA TNT 128 b/c it was originally touted as a "TNT-enhanced RIVA 128" chipset. The 128 was important b/c ATI, Imagine, and some of the other big names at the time were making a big stink about having 128-bit graphics cards.
