Combine a $660 processor with a $200 graphics accelerator and what do you get?  A combo that is almost as fast as a single Voodoo2 running on a high end Pentium II system.  Here's where the TNT starts getting really competitive, leaving the performance at 640 x 480 out (who runs at 640 x 480 with a Pentium II 450?), the 40 - 60 fps range at 800 x 600 and the low to high 30's at 1024 x 768 isn't too shabby for a single card solution.  It is very doubtful that a 3Dfx Banshee can come close enough to the performance of the TNT on the Spectra 2500 to make you reconsider your decision, so for you high end Pentium II owners that don't have the cash for dual Voodoo2's, the Spectra 2500 is the best thing for you.  But what if you don't have that kind of money?  There is an alternative...let's take a look at how the Celeron performs...
