Glen, Integrating the Intel i740 into the processor will not be a big threat to S3. This device is being designed for the Sub $1000.00 PC's. By the time Intel does this in the Q2 99 S3 will be releasing the next graphics chipset ( Vortex or whatever ). S3 will participate in the high end and mainstream market. Ted, I believe you posted the article about the Savage. From what I have read this sounds like a very good product but time will tell. S3 has to get this into volume production ASAP. I disagree with the writer that this is S3 last shot at making it. They still have plenty of cash to get them through a few more bad quarters plus if necessary they could sell of a little more of the fab or use there credit line. IMHO they need to have a successful product by the end of 99 or they will be in big financial trouble. The Savage should get them back to profitability, worst case break even for a few quarters. Thanks for the info. stockroach
