You realize that's like saying the '76 Ford was crappy, so you'll never buy a Ford again, right? The Riva TNT is a decade old, literally--maybe a little older. It's competition was the Voodoo combo 2/3D card, which was equally crappy. The TNT2 varied quite a bit from one manufacturer to another (the card is not made by NVidia, just the chipset.) I've had three TNT's in my time, two worked great, one only worked properly in Windows, and only for some version of properly that means I couldn't tell whether the crashes were video related or not. (That said, ATI has a more affordable card these days. I just wouldn't trust their drivers for much of anything..) _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
