The Maxi Gamer Cougar TnT2 M64 is $79 at the local EB. The Diamond Viper
V770 TnT2 is $79. Look around, you can avoid the crap that is the M64 and
get a TnT2 for the same price. You may have to look for a few days like I
did, though. Ask the store MANAGER (not the geek at the counter) if they
have any in the back of the store if you can't find it on the shelf. You'd
be surprized.
The M64 is riddled with problems like freezing up in games and such.
I've known three people who've tried it (myself included) and they all had
the same problems.
Avoid M64s at all cost.
