Why It Mattered

The 16 MB Vanta-class entry helps the wiki track how NVIDIA and partners segmented low-cost TNT2-era boards by memory capacity and bus configuration.

Collector Notes

Record memory chip markings, exact capacity, PCB revision, vendor part number, and whether the board is PCI or AGP. These cards are often anonymous OEM pulls.

Common Failure Points

Mislabeling and overpricing are more common than exotic hardware failure. Also check for weak VGA output, memory artifacts, and damaged brackets from old office PCs.
