I have a very small question for you guys.

Since Voodoo I and Voodoo II do not accelerate 3D in a window, should I conclude that Banshee will not either?
I'm interested in a low-end VRML accelerator, but professional OpenGL cards are way out of my budget. Is the Direct 3D support works in a window?
Anyway, what was it with the choice of fullscreen only ? is it really a drag to work on both support ? I know they focus on games, and people usually don't play them on their desktop, however, 3DFX could really put VRML on the internet map as a mainstream medium.
Thank you.

I think your analysis is right on.The companys have the
final silicon. Diamond sent me an E-Mail,V2 cards will
be in stores 1st,2nd week of march.
Voodoo 2 is done,I'm sure the Banshee card is top priorty now,
hopefully we will see it sooner.
I'm sure the R&D is already working on Voodoo 3,there product
cycle is a year ahead of anybody, i'm sure they will keep that
edge.
