>Yup, works great with NT 4.0. Glide and OpenGL games even work with NT. What about NT 5.0 Server Beta 2? (NTSB2 includes DX6 in the OS) I just got a dell, with a _mostly_operational riva128 (don't shoot me, I bought refurb, so it was cheaper than getting _no card at all_!), and a completely unusable multimedia thing from crystal (cirrus front). Anyway, I would like to (after feeling the new system pain$$) move to an SBLive and a CREAF Banshee(CLB). EB didn't have any of the sub-$100 Banshees, I think they were taking advantage of "economics" to charge $119 for the CLB, and $179 for the CL-TNT. Pretty sure there was no rebate offer on the box. I suspect I'll get the banshee right before xmas. C ps:EB in Austin had Quake 2 for $55, and Unreal for $30. What's up with that? And I was decidedly non-plussed about the "tdfx display" - because it didn't exist (Lakeline mall, 183 & 620). In the very back of the store there was a 4' wide set of shelves, full height, that had everyone's boards - DIMD, CL - B,V2,TNT,Riva,something else too (i740?) i forget. And no blatant stickers on anything. Certainly no signs/sections. Maybe this is a rogue EB - what have others seen? c c
