I found this review recently
http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/viper2vsg … rce/default.asp
What's strange about it is that it tests the Viper II (Savage 2000) against the GeForce 256 on the basis that both have hardware T&L. Now, I was always under the impression that the Savage 2000 hardware T&L never worked yet this review makes no mention of the fact. In fact, it states that the Savage runs faster with T&L enabled than without which would suggest that at some point the T&L did work. Could the sample boards sent to the press have had functional T&L units but the mass produced ones that the public got were defective or did the press sample cards ship with a driver that actually worked that was different from the drivers that the public got? Could there be lurking out there somewhere a bunch of Savage 2k cards with functional T&L that nobody has been paying attention to?
