Chip, Astounding framerates are known to buyers because it is one of the things they use to make their choice. Why would "better 2d" be any less of a marketing plus than 32-bit. Both are very minor, but if you give credibility to one then you might as well give credibility to the other. As far as framerate goes, when you play a Quake deathmatch do you notice framerate?

"better 2d" is not a marketing point or issue at this point. Everyone's 2D support is, for all practical purposes, identical. Not true, there have been a lot of complaints about TnT at higher resolutions. I haven't seen anything positive or negative about Banshee. G200 I have heard only good things about. Yes people are enjoying their TnT, but are you sure they're using it at 32 bits? TnT does take a big hit going to 32 bit. Howard: I'm assuming V3 will be available for ~$120 for a 16MB board.
