Scot,

I try to keep up with all the 3D news, ever since
i bought my first Voodoo 1, and TDFX stock. Now i have
3 generations of Voodoo cards, 2 generations of Matrox
Millenniums, (1 makes a great $425.00 door stop), and
now the next round is on the way. I guess it's why
i bought a Dreamcast,for the price i paid for the
system,i get FPS and graphics that are incredible.

The New cards are going to be in the $250 range
it looks like,i'm skeptical about alot of the features
to,it's getting to the point where i can't tell
between 70 FPS or 32 bit, etc. Of course i'll be
buying one though, i get a new rig every year(taxes)
and am waiting for the copperwire or the other one
camino?

I've heard good thing about the K7, the benchmarks
show it beats the Pig 3 by good margins. This whole
hobby has my house littered with relics, what an
expensive past time.

Lucky you playing System Shock 2 :-), i want it!!!,
it's on my buy list along with Draken. System Shock
was one of the best games evermade,from what i've read
SS2 is better.

I wonder how many of these games will be ported
to the Dreamcast?. It wouldn't be in the best interests
for any of these companys to announce they are going
to port their A titles before Christmas, i know i would
wait to buy them. I'm betting there's alot of work being done, and come March of next year i'll have a good
chance of picking them up.

Alex

Scot,

Interesting reading on the next-generation
consoles,

www5.tomshardware.com

ATVI is in the latest issue of Money Magazine,
i read it at the library, it sure isn't worth
buying the magazine for....

2nd largest publisher and distributor for PC
and Console games.

Best sellers Quake and Heavy Gear <G>

Streamlined distribution network (deals with Walmart?)

There's more, can't recall the rest.

Have a good weekend,

Alex
