Chip,

I actually know Lew Paceley from my days as a designer and marketing wantabe back at Intel on the P6 (Pentium Pro). Lew was the head of P6 marketing and quite adapt at putting a positive spin on on bad press (take the "P6 is slower than a Pentium for 16 bit code" as an example). He jumped ship from Intel to Cyrix and it seems he has now landed at NVIDIA.

He is quite a slick marketing guy and very good at PR. I think he is now doing the same thing for the RIVA TNT as he did for P6. Maybe 3dfx should hire himto fix their marketing. 8^)

Note his careful choice of language when he says "we have A name brand, honest-to-goodness game that already runs faster on TNT than V2 SLI". If they had more than one game running faster, I doubt they would be holding back that info.

I agree completely with your thoughts on which game it is and the timing of their announcement.

- Mark
