>> CREAF is suggesting Banshee and V2 over TNT for games!<< Gee, not a Banshee and two V2 SLI? How will they ever make money just selling two cards instead of one :^) They should try to sell at least 3 cards. ST P.S. I'm happy that CREAF is pushing the cards, but I find their motives less than bohemian.

Jeff, that's not in the ad I'm looking at. In the latest Creative ad, they have the following quotes: Concerning the 3D Blaster Banshee: ======================== "3D Blaster Banshee explodes with rocket-fast 2D performance, startling 3D frame rates, and break-neck video acceleration with an absolutely out-of-this-world price." "With DirectX, Glide, and 3Dfx OpenGL drivers, tuned for compatibility with the widest range of applications and games, this affordable, easy-to-install graphics accelerator is a must for every PC. It's a gamer's dream come true, that doesn't break the bank!" "...Boosts your PCs performance and provides compatibility with the widest range of applications and games in a single, cost effective upgrade." Concerning the Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT: =============================== "Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT delivers blood-curdling performance. It's packed with workstation power whether you're a hard-core gamer or a hot-shot 3D designer." "When you need to work with incredible precision and play games with liquid-smooth speed, Graphics Blaster Riva TNT is what you've been waiting for." "...Perfect platform for the power-user, gamer or graphics designer." ================================= Chip
