If you ask the salesperson to check, you'll find that, indeed, it is the Banshee. I've called twice, the first salesperson had trouble finding it. THe second knew it was a Banshee right away and was a little excite about it. A while back there were links posted to the online user manual for the card. Granted, they could change next week if they wanted to. Same goes for Dell and tnt. What I think is happening is that Gateway is making sure that 3dfx and Creative can deliver. Once that's proven and once the Banshee stays on retail shelves for more than 5 minutes (creates more of a presence), I'll expect to see the Banshee officially listed. The Nvidia on the 350 line is the Riva 128, I think the 4 meg AGP on the Celeron computer is ATI, but I could be wrong there. Most people will be buying the 400 or the 450, so 3dfx will get most of the sales. Michael
