<< which of the products is the "biggest" for TDFX? >> Right now, I'd have to say that Diamond (DIMD) Monster 3D is the biggest as far as unit sales go. It's also the most-recommended of the Voodoo-based cards. As far as Voodoo2 goes, I'd expect that the DIMD and CREAF cards will be the heavy-hitters as far as unit sales. I expect both manufacturers' cards to be similar in price/performance, and the selling points separating them will be software bundle and stability/performance of the drivers. The chain stores (CompUSA, Computer City, Best Buy, etc.) will undoubtedly carry both the DIMD and CREAF cards. DIMD because of the success of Monster sales and CREAF because of the historical sales numbers of all CREAF products. This should be a great help to sales. Currently, the only Voodoo accelerator you can reliably find on chain store shelves is the Monster 3D. CREAF's presence should virtually double 3Dfx exposure to the casual consumer. Piranha
