Or does > TNT2 imply an AGP interface? I think its possible to get TNT2 with PCI. Someone told me that future nvidia boards will be AGP only though which really sucks since none of my alphas have AGP and I don't think alphas will ever have AGP. It also makes it impossible to use them in a multihead configuration since I think AGP is limited to exactly one slot. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
