zdii.com According to nVidia, 90 percent of its sales come from OEMs, an area in which Diamond is practically non-existent. And in the retail channel, Diamond's Viper V770 sells less than the Creative Blaster, both of which use TNT2 sets. nVidia dimisses today's announcement as less of an issue than 3dfx's purchase of STB. "And that wasn't an issue at all," nVidia's Bivoli says. Straight from the nVidia 10Q.. biz.yahoo.com Sales to Diamond accounted for 27%, sales to Creative accounted for 20%, sales to STB accounted for 13%, sales to Intel accounted for 10% and sales to EDOM Technology Co., Ltd. accounted for 10% of our total revenue for the three months ended May 2, 1999. Sales to STB accounted for 53% and sales to Diamond accounted for 35% of our total revenue for the three months ended April 26, 1998. Having a background in political science... I definately have to give credit to the Nvidia spin-doctors. Diamonds "practically non-existant" presence in the OEM arena just happened to be the TNT2 Dell win... ROFL. LOL... I love seeing people reverse spin information, especially when then overhyped to begin with. biz.yahoo.com OH WAIT!!! What did I find?! LOL! Another example of the Diamond/S3 non issue from Nvidia!! ROFLMAO! biz.yahoo.com My quote for the day.... If you throw enough $hit into the wind, some of it is bound to come back and smack you in the face Jeff P
