Since the Twinforce 2 kit is sold together, reviewing them together performance wise makes sense. It causes problems when finding comparable systems to benchmark against so you'll see it up against XP2600+ and XP2200+ on VIA KT333 and also 2.4B Pentium 4 on SiS645DX. All other comparison systems will feature the Ti4400 so bear that in mind!

28.80's were used despite the availability of the new 40.xx series drivers to maintain parity with previous benchmarks. Be aware that 40.xx gives you a speed boost in certain applications but they weren't used for this review.
