Me too.
The box says it's model 5000-TNT2, the sticker says TNT2 M64, the manual
contains info for a TNT1, a TNT2 and a Vanta. The card look like a Vanta
(compared it to the diagram). The guy at the shop said it was a TNT2. And I
pesonally think it's a TNT2 M64. It cost R800 ($90?).
All I can say is: Don't let the salesman sucker you into buying something.
Check out the company website, and find some benchmarks for that particular
board BEFORE you buy it...
