Vanta...

i'm curious to find out what happened to the TNT Vanta (their "business" model).

Actually, this is much more important than the TNT2 to be honest. Nvidia realized that the TNT was just too expensive to be targeted at OEMs and I don't see TNT2 being any different. Hence, the Vanta. The TNT2 is just a showcase piece so that they can get the deal for the big OEMs. Nobody seems to be noticing that the Riva 128 and ATI Rage Pro are still getting the majority of OEM wins.

Well I guess it isn't entirely a showcase piece as they do get some good retail revenue from it.
