Conspiracy Theory II

Gateway today had what appeared to be a press release on their site dated 8/3 that announced the Voodoo 2 as an option on their G series model. The G series is their home PC model as opposed to the Rendition which is the ultra high end - hook it up to a tv - for only the people with money to burn model. Waited for the press release to appear on Business Wire under Gateway - never came. No one picked up on it here so I figured I'd post the link. Actually sent myself an e-mail from work with the link so I wouldn't have to look twice. Checked the link and lo and behold, the article wasn't there anymore! However, the G series configuration does show the Voodoo 2 as the default selection on the two high end G models - you can get a $240 lower price by not including it and the gaming package. So what happen? I think there's a vicious little internet gremlin that's prowling the web in search of all things TDFX. I don't think that you actually have a chance of seeing it without 3D acceleration but I'm told that you have to be using DirectX 'cause it eats up all the Glide drivers it finds. The world as we know it is in danger and its' time to call on the courageous knights of the SI round table to go on a quest in search of the Promised Banshee Board that will heal all wounds and forever restore peace through out 3Dfx land.

Good Luck All! Joe C.
