.8 cents...Maybe, but I don't think so...check out what DIMD did....TDFX should run up in sympathy...If DIMD can beat by this much selling some TDFX products...imagine what TDFX can do...Also, CRUS beat earnings too....8 cents is mean...I think TDFX will blow that number away Diamond Multimedia System (DIMD) 12 5/8 -1/2: maker and marketer of multimedia & connectivity products records a 4Q profit of $0.20 a share, six cents ahead of the First Call estimate, vs year-ago net of $0.22 a share.....

Based on projected 4Q sales and earnings, I've noticed something that I don't know if I should be concerned about. Perhaps someone more experienced in fundamental analysis can set me straight here.... Estimated EPS is 0.08. Multiplied by the same 12,454,000 shares that the 3Q97 loss was based on, this comes to $996,320. Estimated revenues are $18M, so only about 5.5% of revenue dollars are actually shown as earnings. How does this number (5.5%) compare to other companies in the industry, or to other industries? It seems awfully low to me, but that may just be my inexperienced perception. It also makes it seem that for each cent of EPS increase (or $124,500), they'd have to show another $1.8M in sales. Is this correct or am I totally off base here? Thanks! Piranha

Rumor in Usenet has TDFX making +10 EPS for the Qtr. I guess this is the whisper number. If we make it, very cool, if we beat the whisper number, look out. Another vendor doing the V2,Righetous. I imagine the race is on to get the card out first. Looks like Diamond has the lead, Creative coming in 2nd and the Righetous 3rd. It's time to pre-order i guess, everybody else is. I want that 12 meg Jazz card though. I suppose with the money alot of us have made here we could just buy 2 Monsters.<gg> Luck all, Alex
