<< Contrary to popular belief, the TNT has had nowhere near the OEM penetration levels of the Riva128. I think there is a reason for this and I would welcome all comments as to why this is the case.>> How about COST maybe? By "industry" I was refering to both developers and the core gamers that have been 3Dfx's traditional market. OEMs haven't casted their vote yet whether they consider those features to be important. Someone else just posted that HP had awarded ATI with another line with the Rage Pro cards. Let me ask what are OEM's options these days? 1) Banshee is somewhat production limited and 3Dfx and Creative have their hands full supporting the OEM lines Banshee already has. 2) TNT is too expensive to be the default card for many PC lines That leaves the Rage Pro and Riva128 as the only viable options and the Rage Pro has a leg up over the Riva128 technology wise. Any comments? OB
