too bad it's not possible to have a precisely 666 mhz pc. it's 667. HOPEFULLY.

| Make sure you defined the TNT as the video driver for the game you�re booting up. Also make sure you�ve selected a resolution supported by your system (ie dont check 1600x1200 if you have a 15" monitor). |

Try.. formatting your hard drive. Pre-built computers are crap

Go to NVIDIA.COM and download the reference drivers, they are probably more stable then what you've got.
Buena Suerte (spanish for good luck) |

Mine's Clabs TNT2Ultra overclocked =]
I popped a K6-2 HSF on it and o/c was good - 190/200.
Yes yes yes, it's not the best right now, but it was when i bought it - for $235 BAYBEEEEEE!!!! But i don't upgrade every month so it stays for now.. It doesn't cap my FPS too much. It's actially maxed out since i have Duron@900MHz but games work smooth. stable 70fps in Half-Life, 100+ in Q2 (all in 800x600). I don't like 1024x768 because text is too small for me 
Anyways, TNT2 Vanta is not a good go cause it's a cheaper version of a basic TNT2. For a new computer not a good go
Post some benchmarks will you!
