Thats not true.
I tested mine at 300 and 450 and the difference was little.  The TNT works
just fine on 300.
I also tested my Voodoo2 at the same time.  They perform about equally in
Quake2 but the Voodoo2 doesnt hold up in Direct3D games.  I dont have a game
that the Voodoo2 is 75% faster in.  Which games got that result for you?
