This article is awesome ! Not too often the future path of Japan Inc is revealed, wonder what TDFX is planning for their future ? : eet.com >>TOKYO - Prompted by consumer systems' swing from analog to digital technology, semiconductor vendors are suddenly crowding into the plodding media-processor market, led by Japanese companies keen to regain some of the ground they lost years ago in the microprocessor wars. Fujitsu, Matsushita, Mitsubishi and Sharp - along with U.S. chip makers Texas Instruments, Equator Technologies and VM Labs - are all announcing new media processors or waving technology road maps showing media-processor architectures evolving down below 0.2 micron.<< As PC's and TV's converge (NOT to be confused with the lame-o WebTV boxes) I believe that the visionary R&D talent of TDFX will continue their leadership in 3D, and evolve towards the bigger picture. Hey TDFX, how about a V2 for next-gen laptops !

Matt, I think, it makes more sense to concentrate on 3D-glasses! But I do not know what efforts TDFX does make to push this technique. h3dmedia.com Regards Peter

The problem with multimonitor support via Banshee is that machines only have one AGP port. I understand that multiple AGP ports are impractical, mostly because AGP gets it speed from assume only one card on the bus. So I asked about this at E3. "Will Banshee support multiple monitors?" The Developer relations guys said "Sure, no problem!" I asked how, if machines only had one AGP port. His confidence evaporated and he said "I'm not technical, but we'll support it." I was underwhelmed. The good news is that its a problem for everyone, not just TDFX. Chip
