Hi Bill, Unfortunately, I don't have pricing data accurate enough to hit each specific product with a high degree of confidence. I come to the numbers from rules of thumb I've observed. For example, a new consumerish graphics controller goes at the high twenties when it is introduced, then slides into the teens at huge "mainstream" volumes and then down under ten in the cheapo market. That slide could take a well accepted product two or more years of riding the price performance curve. So, I'd SWAG the following as of today (note: total SWAG): Trio 64 $6 Virge $8 Virge Vx Probably not available as it was targeted at add-in boards Virge DX/GX $12 Virge GX2 $17 MX $14 (not really sure) MXi $28 ( (not really sure) Sonic Vibes (I have no clue at all) I recall SWAGing an Average Selling Price for SI at about $10 per graphics chip which panned out based on the original quarterly earnings. Even with the restatement pending, that unit price data should hold up. Hope that helps. Ski PS: Rage LT, yes, good news. Finally public.
