FTC may be planning 2 lawsuits against Intel. This may be great news for companies like 3Dfx. It may prevent Intel to force PC makers who are using Intel chips to buy other parts like a 3D graphics chip. Check out the following paragraph from this article: ------------ In addition the FTC could file a broader case that charges Intel with forcing PC makers that license its chips to also buy related parts that link to the hard drive or to other parts on the motherboard, the paper said. That case could take up to a year to file, the newspaper said, citing unnamed sources. ------------ cnnfn.com

Ah but when will Banshee ship ? 1999 ? The Matrox is out in June ! And if you look at Tom's screenshots, the Matrox IS noticeably better quality. And I am a 3dfx fan, BTW.

Poll: How would Win'98 Delay effect TDFX ? I don't believe this will actually happen but I'm curious how you people would spin this. I'd say it will actually help TDFX in that it may extend Glides dominence a bit longer, and since TDFX is more into the add-on market which should continue to chug along despite any Win'98 delays. I am now poised to go Long TDFX just through Monday. With so many new players wanting to show up TDFX at E3 next month, I'd rather not stick around too long when the reviews hit.
