Johnathon, If the drivers are so bad that the S3 chips could not even be tested sounds pretty lame to me. PC labs I believe also did testing with a MMX Systems. 5 out of the top 7 were Virge. Go back about 100 posts on this thread and you can get the info. As David said one of the authors works for 3D labs and I am sure they just love to take pot shots at #1.They also said they are developing this benchmark test so I would imagin that they would squew it towards 3D labs. If S3 drivers are so bad why is the Diamond/S3 product the hottest graphics card in retail and why has OEM after OEM announced that they are using Virge. If there are driver problems the PC manufacturers would not buy the product from S3. Grogg
