Well the local EB is pushing the hell out of the new v3's. Display boxes all over the place. Almost all the video cards they sell are voodoo this or voodoo that. There are two TNT cards and one of them is from STB. Also a TV tuner card from STB. Well since last week we now have a clear understanding of the MetaByte deal. Basically works for any chip set and TNT retail won't be ready for a while. Sharkey's is just blantently out of control at this point pushing the non-existent TNT2 SLI. Between the retail presence of 3dfx and better in-roads to OEM's through STB things could fall in place real nice. Never forget Banshee killed TNT in retail and got "some" nice OEM wins even without the 32-bit color that TNT has. V3 will pretty much be on the shelves when TNT2 is just being announced. I would definitely give this round to 3dfx. Bottom line is that 3dfx quitely got all their ducks in a row and if Rampage is all its cracked up to be 1999 will be the year of 3dfx. NVidia has already lost their chance at a major retail presence with their new chip. Lets just hope the OEM's love STB. Casey "we are in trouble, things are looking up" K
