Re: "Therefore, their previous backers (Diamond, Creative Labs, etc.) have thrown their weight behind Nvidia." So you're saying their problems are marketing oriented and have nothing to do with a technology gap? --- Ninety-five percent of them, yes. 3DFx did miss the boat on 32-bit color and 32MB frame buffers, but you'll notice the people making the biggest deal about that are their ex-customers. Had they kept their relationships with the OEMs I'm certain it'd be a different story. Also, you're right - S3 just proposed a "take-under" of Diamond. 3DFx seems to have started a trend. - Eric
