fyodor, re: <<I take this to mean that NVIDIA's screwup with the TNT1 is forgiven/forgotten? (it was late, at lower clock speeds and lower performance/clock compared to the promises)>> I'm not sure what you mean by 'screwup' with the TNT1 - I wasn't aware it was late or less than promised. What I can state as fact is that it kicked the butt of the leader's offering at that time - 3dfx's Voodoo 2 card - and spelled the beginning of the end for 3dfx (Nvidia recently bought all their assets for a paltry $112 million), as Nvidia's subsequent products (TNT2, GeForce, GeForce 2) proved to be consistently and clearly superior to anything any of the competition could offer. If you think I've got the facts wrong, look at Anandtech's or Tom Hardware reviews and comparisons of Nvidia's cards vs. the competition. To tell you the truth, I'm somewhat surprised that you have this view, given that your posts usually seem to be pretty congruent with reality and on target.
