I don't care who Tom's Hardware supports, but you certainly cannot trust his
reviews to be truthful.  Anyways, I really don't give a shit anymore which
is faster because they are both VERY fast, fast enough that on games that
are out now, I won't find a noticeable difference in speed ( my problem is
that I have an AMD-K6-2 300, so I won't be able to take full advantage of
the TNT-2.  I'm going to overclock it some, and see how much faster
performance can get.  Someday I will buy a new processor, though.  I just
hope that doesn't have to be soon.).  Like you said, if id Software really
thinks 32 bit color and high texture resolutions look that much better, I
want to be one of the guys who has a card that supports these features.  I'm
done arguing about speed, though, at least for this round.  Although neither
card has come out yet, it is obvious who is going to win- nVidia.  I just
hope my processor is strong enough to reap the benefits of the TNT-2.
