The way this stock is behaving, it appears to be ignored by most players, because of the upcoming lousy quarter, and lack of design win announcements from S3's 'partners'.

Even if DIMD and STBI announce I doubt the stock will increase substantially.

S3 has to show 3 consecutive qtrs of positive earnings (without too much accounting manipulation), before we see double digits.

All in all, about 12 months wait is my guess.

still long and suffering

COMPAQ & S3

PC Magazine -- May 5, 1998 article

S3 nasdaq (SIII) ALIVE AND WELL

We also saw big gains from some systems on our Graphics WinMark test. The top score was posted by the Compaq Armada 7800, the first notebook available with AGP graphics. Powered by S3's ViRGE/MX AGP accelerator--and a Compaq-designed core-logic chip set--the Armada garnered a Graphics WinMark score of 116. This is only slightly better than the second-highest score (posted by the Toshiba Tecra), but it's 46 percent higher than the top scorers from our Tillamook roundup.
