TGP,

I am in the office, and I don't have audio here that I can conveniently use, so I will have to listen to it later. So I go on only what you posted. One thing that's unclear is if they had to throw out old version of the chipset, that should not affect revenues, just costs and profit (assuming that NVDA was able to ship replacement parts).

PS: I bought a small position in NVDA in AH.

What are the AH prices?

Joe

IT appears that MSFT's crap software screws over their suppliers as well as their customers.

I wonder when MSFT will get over its arrogant belief that it can do encryption better than the rest of the world, and start using pulically available algorithms?

Neil.

What confuses me about this story is why a graphics chip embedded in a non-expandable, non-modifiable PC like thing needs a security code in the first place. Microsoft controls the bios and the CPU. If they can't figure out how to make that secure, they got problems.

But, contrary as I am, I'm a little mystified by the charm of hacking the xbox. You'd have a pretty hard time coming up with a 733 mhz CPU / 10 gig hard disk PC from conventional sources. Why bother?
