The TNT2-Pro is somewhere inbetween an Ultra and a regular TNT2 in terms of specs, but for some reasons, it outperforms even the Ultra in some cases.

The core clock on a Pro is 143 MHz, dont remember the mem speed, but I'd imagine its 166 or 183 MHz.

I think the M64 has 125 MHz core/mem, might be a bit off, but its lower then the Pro in both cases anyway.
But the biggest difference is that the M64 uses a 64 bit datapath to the memory, giving it half the mem bandwidth at the same mem clock.
This severely hurts performance at any decent resolution and color depth.

In conclusion, go with a Pro, its ALOT better than the M64.
