FWIW, I don't like today's volume either. You can see from my latest TDFX chart (http://coolhistory.com/ChipsCharts/TDFX.gif) that while today's volume was above average, it was lower than the previous two volume spikes creating a downtrend in the overall volume picture. I smell more MM tricks, using moderate amounts of capital to lure small investors into this stock right before earnings and then dumping it soon after. I'd love to be wrong on this, but a stock that is truely breaking out with a 15% gain should have _much_ higher volume associated with it. Watch the size of the trades closely over the next couple of days. I'd be skeptical until we start seeing several large blocks cross the tape. Here's to better volume tomorrow! Chip

Too early to be recognized as an AGP nX killer? agn3d.com Fast Ram Testing - 9:29AM Advantest and Teradyne announced that they were preparing for SLDRAM production testing. For those of you not familiar with this new Ram, it is capable of a 1GHz speed!!!! Now try to compare that to the little 100MHz silicon magic chips on your Voodoo2 :) SLDRAM, Inc. (Formerly the SLDRAM Consortium) is an open, non-profit corporation with the objectives of cooperatively developing an open DRAM specification with the largest memory capacity at the lowest possible cost. It believes this can be achieved by optimizing the process and the design to minimize manufacturing cost and by ensuring that the resulting devices can best serve high-volume markets though high-volume manufacturing thus achieving the greatest economies of scale. SLDRAM is a general purpose, high-performance DRAM, serving the requirements of all major DRAM applications. It is designed for computer main memory in desktop, mobile and high-end servers and workstations. SLDRAM offers high sustainable bandwidth, low latency, low power, user upgradeability and support for large hierarchical memory configurations.

Naa - at this point, after all of the pain I've gone through so far, I'm afraid I'm in for the long term (1 yr +). Guess I'm just a glutton for punishment..... You know, the reason that I bought this stock in the first place is because I see the creation of a major new market segment in the Semi industry (3-D graphics) and I see the possibility of someone other than Intel (namely TDFX) dominating this part of the industry. I'm betting that 3-D acceleration will become part of what is simply expected to be in any consumer PC at any price point, and I expect TDFX to be the market leader in this segment. If this happens, we will look back at the current stock price and have a good laugh....
