Mike, First of all I never heard of the rag that did the review, which does not mean all that much. I would go with what PC mag, PC world or one of the better known mags out there said. They normally do a better and more complete review of final silicon. Second, this was done a few months ago with a alpha based board. It stated that the clockspeed of the chipset and memory would change quite a bit by release of product. In all fairness the Voodoo 2 technology will be 7-9 months old by the time S3 releases Savage. It has already made its money and will be pushed down into mainstream with cost reductions. S3 needs to compare the Savage board to the new releases from ATI, Matrox, 3DFX and NVIDIA. If it stacks up well then the OEM will come and the stock price will rise. On the sideline for now. stockroach
