I've got both, and don't know which to put into the second computer... :eyes:

I always thought the TNT2 64 had 64Mb, but I guess that doesn't make sense because my TNT2 ultra has 32Mb.
I guess my vote is for the TNT2, but I have no idea what the other card is like so I'm not really voting.

The ATi rage 128 GL is comparable with the TNT1-Cards.
TNT2-Cards are better anyway ;)

My brother had an ATI rage card in his computer.
It sucks, don't even think about it.

TNT-2 is pretty good though (if ye haven't got any better;) )

The TNT2 M64 is severely bandwidth-limited, worse than a vanillla TNT2, or a TNT2 Ultra.

It's performance is still better than the Rage, however.

if you want my opinion the ati rage 128 is a 128 bit card (processor is 128 bits of band width but the tnt2 is 64 bit width so i think that the ati must be more powerful than the tnt2 at least a little bit .

i have the ati rage 128 but with 32 Mb of ram
It runs just fine although if i had the money, i would have gotten a geforce2 or some other high end card.

I have never seen a tnt2 64 running so i have no comparison

although since you have both, the best way to find out is to test them both and see wich one runs better

Why dont you benchmark your system with both cards (one at a time) with 3dMark2000? This will give you a performance benchmark and you can also see the picture quality of each as compared to a reference image.

Yeah that's a good idea... try using Matrox-G100 (4Mb) with the 2000 version...
