Marc,

If you're wondering if your English skills are keeping you back, just send me a private message in French. I'm from just outside of Montreal (Brossard) and speak and read French pretty well (even though I live in Kansas right now).

Unless I quoted an independent review site, I don't recall talking about the TNT. I have said that it is a better (meaning more high-end) chipset than the Banshee. Banshee has a price advantage (somehwere between $50 to $75) that counterbalances some of TNT's advantages.

ATI's current chipsets are falling further and further behind. I haven't seen anything other than a spec sheet list for the 128 and a brief note on Tom's Hardware.

Michael

As far as ATI going for the set-top, you really have to have a lot of clout to pull off a new platform. If you
can't get content developers to support it in a big way you're screwed from the get-go.

What about windows CE, does that sound familiar, do you want a link? i have many.


Does D3D software run under CE? Does ANY Win95 app run under CE? I don't see a very big CE section at CompUSA. An OS is one thing, content is another.
