Graphics company Nvidia earnings top expectations Note:I believe this company will tremendously enhance the Broadband experience that JDSU will provide. They make a Graphics Microprocessor for 3 Dimesion Visualization of PC images, the GeForce 256 which can process over 200 billion operations per second, is 3 times as fast and more calculations than a Pentium 4, and increases the PC's ability to render high-definition 3D scenes in real-time:; nvidia.com They just bought out Company No. 2, TDFX. Their processor will provide all the visual beauty that can come out from a PC, laptop and handhelds with all the rich textures.They are the No. 1 game chip and will now go into B2B chips and MSFT game box. yahoo.marketguide.com I am pointing out not just because of possibly looking into it as an investments ( my son, Comp.Eng. student and avid game player loves it ) but also as an indication of the continues power and stay of PCs and the semiconductor market. I totally agree with you t2 that in 7 months, by XMAS, we are going to have a hugely resurgent Nasdaq. Last AH price for JDSU, 42.25 @18:25:00 back much, much later, TA ================================================== biz.yahoo.com Wednesday February 14, 5:56 pm Eastern Time Graphics company Nvidia earnings top expectations SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb 14 (Reuters) - Computer graphics company Nvidia Corp. (NasdaqNM:NVDA - news), whose chips will be used in a highly touted game system from Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news), posted a fourth quarter profit that topped Wall Street expectations, citing its entry into new product markets. In the fiscal fourth quarter that ended Jan. 28, Nvidia said it earned $31.1 million, or 38 cents per diluted share, compared to $14.6 million, or 19 cents per share, in the year earlier quarter. Analysts were on average expecting a profit of 37 cents per share, according to research firm First Call/Thomson Financial. Nvidia, which will provide an audio and networking chip for Microsoft's Xbox video game system, said revenues in the quarter rose 70 percent to $218.2 million from $128.5 million a year ago. Microsoft has said it expects to begin shipping the much anticipated Xbox in the fall. Shares of Nvidia rose $3-1/4, or 7.3 percent, to $47-11/16 in regular trade on the Nasdaq market, and rose a further $2-5/16 in after-hours trade to $50. The stock's 52-week high is $88. Nvidia also said it will leverage the Xbox system to build a family of products for personal computers and Internet appliances. In January, the company announced its graphics system would be included in Apple Computer Inc.'s (NasdaqNM:AAPL - news) new line of Power Mac G4 computers. Some analysts have said Nvidia has been able to take market share away from leading graphics chips maker ATI Technologies Inc. (Toronto:ATY.TO - news) (NasdaqNM:ATYT - news) Last month, ATI warned investors that it expected sales and profits to be hurt in 2001 because of softer personal computer demand.
