Heya... I'm a Mach6 developer, so whenever I see Mach6 I get pulled into a thread :-). I also have a TNT and a Voodoo2 on my desktop. The Voodoo2 is far and away the better board. Example: Voodoo2 runs Quake2 about 30% faster than the TNT. Example: Halflife is almost totally crippled under TNT... D3D didn't work at all for me, and OpenGL was a joke. TNT does show that other people can play in the same ballpark with 3DFX, but the Voodoo2 solutions are still king. The magazines I think are getting excited over benchmarks and the fact that there is actuall y an option to Voodoo now. I don't consider it much of an option. If I had my choice to do this again, I'd buy this system without the TNT in it.
