<< if anybody wants to tell me how to embed web addresses in my postings feel free to post instructions on how to do it.>> Just copy the address when you are looking at it in your browser. If you are manually typing it, make sure to put "http://" in front of the "www..." part. Happy embedding, Tim

Hey Frank, Lord knows I'm a TDFX bull, but let's not get too carried away here. Michael's article does a good job explaining why Intel's current offering, the i740, is a poor performer and won't be an immediate threat to the 3D accelerator market. However, Intel (like Microsoft) has rarely hit a home run with its first release of anything. Intel excels at learning from its mistakes and _eventually_ coming out with stuff that performs pretty well. (No, I'm not long INTC! ;-) Anyway, I remain confident that TDFX can continue to innovate enough to remain ahead of INTC for quite some time to come, but I am watching Intel very closely for _concrete_ info on what their next move will be: - Improve the i740? (I expect at least one more attempt) - Integrate graphics into the chipsets? (FOUL!) - Buy someone. (E&S move was very interesting) - Give up. (Not likely IMHO) Chip
