Scott - As of today Gateways's G and GP-series indicate an NVidia graphics board as a standard or upgrade component on virtually every model. Banshee is not specifically listed as a standard component nor as an upgrade option on any of the models. Kevin M. Reilly

Scott, nVidia IS whooping our butts in OEM arena...forget that it may be an upgrade here, standard there, whatever...90% of their substantial business is OEM...they ARE beating us...Now, I didn't say that wouldn't change :) And I hope it does. All I'm saying is that it is hard to replace the incumbent, even if he/she is crooked...And don't forget, the biggest OEM cardmaker (3d party) is STBI, and they are clearly pushing their investment in nVidia. Hell, they are putting the TNT on their MOTHERBOARD! Chip has told us about TNT!!! and banshee...Clearly we are back burner to those who sell both. Hoping this will change, and soon...
