I'll go you one better and list the all the well known nVidia chipsets and
list them in ascending order according to their performance.

TNT
TNT2 Vanta
TNT2 M64
TNT2 Original
TNT2 Pro
TNT2 Ultra
Geforce 256       {available as 64/32meg}
Gefoce 2 MX 200 {new card, crippled MX, designed for OEMs}
Geforce 2 MX Original {64/32meg}
Geforce 2 MX 400 {new card, 64/32meg, 2frames per sec faster than orig}
Geforce 256 DDR {available as 64/32meg}
Gefoce 2 GTS (64/32meg)
Geforce 2 Pro (64/32meg)
Geforce 2 Ultra (64meg only)
Geforce 3 (64meg only- with 128meg versions coming soon)

Hope this helps, and I hope I haven't left anything out.

There was probably a lot of TNT2  cards that were available with different
amount of memory.

I should be noted also that a card with 64megs or RAM isn't going to be any
faster than a 32 meg card in today's applications. The textures still aren't
big enough to take advantage of the 64megs.
