Ahh!!! Cool they changed some of the specs for the production model ;) I
hadn't read the latest on it (Not a Voodoo fan). Glad to see they went
main-stream ;)
Sorry I was wrong. But I still think the GeForce outperforms it. I'll have
to visit some of the sites that do benchmarks and see if they have any
comparisons up yet.
Thanks!
