 I thought Sharky's review on the TNT2 was great.. I'm still not sure if
I trust Sharky, but overall, I've seen no issues. I bought the V3/3k,
it's running at 185mhz stable as a rock. Voodoo's are known for not
being as CPU dependant, which may or may not matter so some depending on
whether you can afford only a K6-300 or you can buy intel's
Net-superpowers P3.
I run Q3 at 1024 with NO issues at all. It runs like a charm. Unreal
runs at 1280x1024 perfectly, and it only cost me $149. 
The way I see it, for an extra $100 I can buy 32bit rendering from
Hercules TNT2-ULTRA, and even then, for that card to surpass my V3, I've
got to overclock it (which I'd gladly do).

If I were you I'd buy a V3/2k because it's cheap ($129 possibly cheaper
on sale), it's very overclockable (usually 170+mhz) and really, all
these cards are only a stepping stone between the Voodoo2 generation and
the real advancement to be made later this year.

I'm hoping Matrox will step up to the palte and show us that they value
their reputation, but regardless, I trust that 3dfx will produce a card
that will meet the needs of the trolls and whiners as well as people
like me who just want to play an awesome game at an awesome resolution
with MANY FPS, and with the visual quality I want.
