Chip, you didn't mention SLI in your description of the Canopus. This would account for the half price since it would require two Canopus to equal the Obsidian2SLI

<< Canopus announced the 24MB Pured3DII accelerator. Based on the Voodoo2 chipset, this card will compete with the earlier 24MB offerings from Quantum. Features include TV-out, Glide, Direct3d and OpenGL support. Expected to retail at about $329, this PCI card should hit the market in mid-may. Compared to the $700 Quantum SBSLI-24, this seems like a nigh unbelievable bargain.>> This doesn't make sense. The $329 card they are advertising on their website (www.pure3d.com) is a 12 MB card similar to the other high-end Voodoo2 cards on the market. Obviously, like their competition you could connect two cards together for 24MB total, but I don't seen anything at all about a 24MB card.
