Why are you considering those two cards? Why are you not considering a
Hercules or Xentor or CLTNT2Ultra?

I was leaning toward the Herc, but the Xentor was cheaper. However,
the CL was the same price as the Xentor (even with the Xentor rebate)
and has the added bonus of the Unified drivers.

To be honest, after my last Creative card (original Rendition
100-based 3D Blaster), I swore I'd never buy another Creative card.
But their work on the Unified drivers and the new hacked miniGl that
lets the Voodoo2s use larger textures really changed my mind. I like
that fact CL is trying to set themselves apart in driver technology.
Gee, I forgot about their volumetric shadow stuff for the CL TNT 1.
They really changed my mind.
