[Kareem Lanier]

With my system(P5A,K6-2:350) I'm pulling out my hair wondering as to which video card to go with:
This "Banshee" card or
The Diamond Viper550 (Riva TNT) or
Creative Labs Riva TNT.........????????????
Gaming desires,speed,smoothness,flight simulations, etc...

Reviews at www.tomshardware.com and www.anandtech.com point toward the Asus V3400 TNT as the best choice right now.

The www.lostcircuits.com review brings up a few drawbacks.

Go with Riva TNT chipset but DON'T BUY NOW!
Hold off a little while. The 2nd generation TNT cards are going to be released shortly. They are made with a .25 micron form factor that will speed them up and help keep them cooler. Overheating is a major problem with TNT boards currently. The new ones should also come with fans mounted on the board. Go visit http://www.voodoextreme.com to read some about it.
