Praetor puts a heck of a lot of time into these 101's would be nice to let him know they are appreciated.

The best way would be for people to actually read them, but this thread is a close second.

I haven't had time to read it yet Prae, but it's on my to-do list ;) Looks good though

# DirectX7 class GeForce cards. nVidia was the first to have a viable (and incredibly successful) DirectX7 platform:

* NV10 - GeForce [SDR, DDR]
* NV11 - GeForce2 [MX, MX200, MX400]
* NV15 - GeForce2 [GTS-V, GTS, Pro, Ultra, Ti]
* NV20 - GeForce3 [Plain, Ti200, Ti500]
* NV17 - GeForce4 [MX420, MX440, MX440SE, MX460, MX4000]

# DirectX8 class GeForce cards Up until the release of the Radeon9700, these cards were incredibly successful and the later models were still viable as budget options all the way until the GeForce6 line-up

* NV20 - GeForce3 [Plain, Ti200, Ti500]
* NV25 - GeForce4 [Ti4200, Ti4400, Ti4600]
* NV28 - GeForce4 [Ti4800SE, Ti4800]

i found another mistake, geforce3 was posted in both DirectX7 and DirectX8 class GeForce cards, it should be only on DirectX8 class cards.
 
I really like how you incorporated pictures to show the difference between things like HDR and AA, its really cool. BTW- I did read it if you were wondering.
