Ben - RE: "Go to any review of Voodoo3 on the net, they'll mention it outperforms TNT2 in many ways with AMD processors, but lags with Intel ones... transversely, AMD is better with Voodoo vs. Intel, than with TNT2 vs. Intel."

That is only because the Voodoo 3 isn't as CPU/FPU dependent as the TNT/2 and because its drivers already have 3D Now! enhancements in them. 3D Now! enhanced TNT/2 drivers should be out this week. With them, the K6-X will perform better. The Matrox G400 is also very CPU dependent, so any benchmarks with a K6-x processor and w/o 3D Now! enhancements would be very slow. That video card will probably thrive on a K7 as it does the PIII.
