    I also have a TNT and I'm waiting on a TNT2 from someone like Hercules or Canopus, there choice of memory and cooling offer a far better chance of getting the clock and memory speeds we've seen on the reference board benchmarks from nVidia. It wouldn't make much since to go out and buy a low end TNT2 if you already have a TNT, just overclock it!! If your going in my direction make sure there is a fan and heatsink on the chip and also make sure the memory is 4ns S*RAM(*=D or G) whichever card you get.

    Note: TNT2 with proper cooling can reach in the region of 175MHz Core.
    Memory: 6ns = 150Mhz 5ns = 183MHz and 4ns = 200MHz

    You'll be waiting for a TNT2 from Canopus for a long time. Their US facility stopped making any 3d boards and are concentrating on video editing stuff, though they do say that the Japanese side of the firm will still make garphics cards for the Japanese market.

    Pity: my Pure3D card is a loverly board.

    Can't comment on the AGP version, but a mate just got a G3 which comes with the 66Mhz PCI version. Seems to be very nice!
