Vincenzo, I don't think Compaq is using any 3D chip from NeoMagic -- it's the 256-bit, NM2200 chip with 2.5 MB of embedded memory. Compaq likes to talk about Direct3D even with models that have 2D graphics.

I checked major US notebook manufacturers (IBM, Dell, Gateway, Compaq, HP), and it appears that almost all models with the new Intel processors are using a NeoMagic accelerator, with most of them using the 256-bit 2200 chip and several using NeoMagic's PCI audio too (for example, Dell's Latitude CPi). An exception is Compaq, who still doesn't use any NeoMagic chips in its Armada line of business notebooks.

Do you think core logic with integrated graphics could be a threat to NMGC? See the link below to a message I posted earlier.
