Probably could run rings around a celeron for matrix and geometry work
(with that seirous FPU), but the integer performance should be similar.
Also, a TNT could churn out what, 10 million benchmark (read: small)
triangles?, and the PSX2 is supposed to handle 75 million, so I think
the 3d might just be a bit better ^_- than a TNT.

The Dreamcast has already been out for 4-5 months, and costs around �150
($250), and it has the power of a pretty decent consumer machine
($800-$1000 machine), but it won't be out here until Fall (don't know
about the states).

I'd like to see PSX2 workstations (hehe), with a usb keyboard and mouse,
and a firewire flatpanel video display, as powerful as SGI's from a few
years ago, but for a couple hundred dollars (+display, since LCD panels
are outrageously priced).
