He doesn't want to lose that NVIDIA "stamp" of approval. Or is that a "check" of approval. ;-)

For whatever reason, Tom is totally blinded by the ability to run at resolutions above 1024x768. Forget the fact that its at 15fps or lower. FWIW, I haven't used my TNT card for gaming in over a month now. There is _zero_ visual improvement for Half-Life and Unreal over the V2 and the V2 is faster and doesn't hang.

CompUSA has cheap V2's? Even buying from CompUSA, two V2 cards are barely more expensive than one TNT What kind of deals are at your CompUSA? At mine, they usually only have one brand of V2 for $149-$169, and the TNT's are about the same price. This is not counting rebates, 'cause I always forget to send mine in. I find myself going to CompUSA once a week and proseletizing V2 to people about to buy an ATI (non-Fury) cards. Then I tell them to go to the Internet or at least to Best Buy to get a better price.
