Marketing hype, Paul. Show me the 40% improvement. Show me some benchmarks of PII + TNT2 vs. PIII + TNT2 + SSE. Those SSE drivers are vaporware so far. Kevin

Paul: The NVIDIA TNT2 SHIPPED FROM DAY ONE (April 16) with SSE Optimized drivers NVIDIA claimed to have 'AMD optimized drivers' for a really long time, but we all know that they didn't actually have it until just recently. Similarly, they have claimed (for just as long) to have SSE optimized drivers. I must admit I actually believed that, but then I checked the benchmarks. They speak pretty well for themselves. Little to no SSE Optimization. Probably more like 'no'. 206.132.160.22 idsoftware.com
