Guys,

Firstly I want to thank everybody who has posted information on this thread. I brought in at 24 and again at 28. I have watched the rollercoaster and the only thing that kept me sane was this thread. This is a great stock and it will have it's day eventually I am sure, until then it is 'Do or Die'

I just wanted to point out the fact it seems 3DFX seems to be the only major 3D chip maker interested in the MAC arena, okay we all know the Mac is down but I would not say it is out. There is still a large user base and the release of the IMAC is imminent. Unreal is looking very nice on the Voodoo enhanced Macs.

'MicroConversions has harnessed the power of the VooDoo 2 chip and made a Macintosh version of the card called the Game Wizard. Fortunately for Macworld show-goers, MicroConversions hopes to have 50 boards in tomorrow for attendees to purchase.'

Also:

'Virtual PC 2.1 is coming, and it will bring support for Voodoo2 in the Mac Win98 release'

This should mean any PCI 3DFX board should work in the newer Macs. Can any other 3D chip vendor boast multiplatform support?
