| Guillemot Maxi Gamer Xentor TNT2 | |
| (Review by MS, June 20, 1999) |
The Guillemot MaxiGamer Xentor is currently the least expensive TNT2 card available. The software and documentation of the card is about the lowest standard that can be tolerated and should better be discarded. However, the card itself shows superior performance, once set up and configured correctly. In fact, at least in QuakeII and similar applications, the frame rates reach levels that usually can only be achieved on PentiumII or related systems. Moreover, there seem not to be any compatibility issues with the VIA MVP3 chipset and the 1.88 drivers are capable of unleashing a hitherto not achievable performance level of any SS7 system. All of this can be accomplished for as little as $109 (after mail-in rebate).
In other words, once you find the "Coupe de Ville" at the bottom of the cracker jack box, the Xentor offers a superior value for the money and is worth every penny spent. The Xentor can be purchased at any Electronics Boutique
