I am considering to cancel my V3 3500 order but I am gonna wait till both
products are actually shipping.  Right now they are both vaporware and the
specs can change at any minute, which they have changed in the past.  I
don't believe what Tom's hardware guide has to say cause he is not as
knowledgeable as he thinks he is, he is to biased towards certain products,
and his methods of testing are all not that great.  After both products do
ship I may end up with the TNT2 and keep my V2 SLI too.  Hopefully 3Dfx will
have a better card out before 2000.
