I'll second or third that, I'm holding these puppies until i make a profit on S3. I just can't imagine S3 not selling a ton of the Savage chips. Maybe not this quarter, but next for sure. Their cost just has to be so much lower than the competitions, that even if they weren't quite as good, they would still be to hard to resist on price alone. And we all know that the chips are as good or better than most any of the other new chips. They may not sell many this quarter, but they will sell the heck out of these. The way that the OEMs seem to switch chips each week, shows that none of them are locked into any particular chip. I see OEMs advertising their systems with ATI one week, STB with Riva the next, and then something else the next week. They must be getting very good at popping a new chip or board into their designs. S3 is going to undersell everyone, and hopefully make at least a little on each chip. We will see Savage and son of Savage in Gateway, Dell, IBM, and Compaq. S3 is not going away, we are back. Well, I seem to be pretty positive tonight. I am tempted to go out and buy a new board with Savage when STB comes out with one, and replace my one year old STB with a S3 Virge GX. Well, gotta run, gonna load Riven on my PC tonight and blow my mind trying to figure out their obscure clues. Have a great Labor Day weekend.
