Very interesting, never knew they existed. Geforce2 Go closest dekstop should be Geforce2 MX400, albeit downclocked a fair bit.

Geforce 2 Go = Geforce 2 MX Mobile
Geforce 2 Go200 = Geforce 2 MX200 Mobile
Geforce 2 Go400 = Geforce 2 MX400 Mobile

So each mobile variant, will be a slightly underclocked version of its desktop counterpart.

Ok, I just checked gpureview which lists Geforce2 Go, Geforce2 Go 100 and Geforce2 Go 200. And when looking at this comparison it seems like regular Go is a downclocked MX400: http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=396&card2=117

According to gpureview 100 and 200 versions has narrower mem bus, 32bit and 64bit respectivaly, compared to 128bit for regular Go.

Checked Notebookreview and they say that regular Go only has 64bit bus: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-2-Go.6949.0.html I think it has something to do with that gpureview lists the cards as SDR 128bit instead of DDR 64 bit, for some reason.

Interesting, thanks.

My mistake, what I meant was:

Geforce 2 Go = Geforce 2 MX Mobile
Geforce 2 Go100 = Geforce 2 MX200 Mobile
Geforce 2 Go200 = Geforce 2 MX400 Mobile

But according to GPUReview the Geforce 2 Go Series has 1x Vertex Pipeline, while the Geforce 2 MX series doesn't have any. Not sure what significance this has on performance though. I would assume it makes up for the clock speed shortfall on the "Go" series.
