There is also
available the Winfast S320V which is a much cheaper card
since it’s not based on the TNT2 but NVIDIA’s TNT Vanta
chip which runs at 100mhz and it uses the older 64bit memory
bus. This card is oriented to the OEM and budget market,
while it is not a good choice for gamers, this card should
be selling in the $40-60 price range, on par with the good
old i740 cards.
