What's your source for the $80 million sales number for nVidia? Michael

So you are saying that nVidia shipped about 800,000~1,000,000 TNT units (assuming $80 a chip which is not likely as TNT should be at most a $55 chip) in less than 2 months. To put this in perspective, when Voodoo 2 was a hot hot fresh from the oven product, 3Dfx shipped less than 700,000 units, and they did not have to compete with a similar product (as nVidia does). Could you enlighten us as to the source and logic of your $80 Mil. claim? I'm all ears. Sun Tzu
