Nvidia made a specific line using the Riva 128 chipset usually marketed as Riva TNT it is not a TNT2 card. The only 16mb TNT2 card that I am aware of by Nvidia is the Vanta line although other makers such as Creative do offer a line of Riva TNT2 cards including 1 listed as Riva TNT2 without the Vanta designation, listing under the specs only that it uses the TNT2 engine, no mention of chipset. So after all of that now I am confused. Glad I switched to ATI. Charles (-: Forever never goes beyond tomorrow. And for too many there are now no tomorrows.
