Patrick: regarding Simon's comments as to why we should not make our own cards, we disagree to a "t". I think that all of the arguments carry water EXCEPT number 1 ("1) If one company's product is poor, another's might be better. People/reviewers will measure 3Dfx by the best of many board manufacturer's products." Lets face it, virtually everybody uses the reference design. Nobody really makes a significant difference. So point #1 really is moot. -- Read the "interview with CFO" and noticed that it mentioned his opinion that they will no longer be doing 3D only cards...this was not what he told me, though I may have had my lines crossed. I will try to find out for sure... -- Regarding all of the PR from various cardmakers...I am waiting for one in particular...Banshee and STB! Why? Dell and Gateway, baby...this is the announcement I am waiting for, and it will surely precede any design wins... Jeff PS: Congrats Patrick! Look forward to seeing your posts...without having to wade through the Yahoo crapola! PPS: Have spent a good chunk of the day cleaning up my dogs "undigested breakfast" off of the carpet. She normally just sleeps during the day, but she wandered downstairs and I think she saw the Dow bug on CNBC...
