Tony T. on Banshee SLI... Unfortunately, you cannot design a "conforming" PCI card that implements SLI unless you include a bridge chip (which increases the cost). Without the bridge chip, you would have 2 PCI loads on one card, which is not "proper". So unfortunately, the base board would be burdended with the cost of a bridge chip. Banshee is not capable of SLI. Pat

NOTE: they bought a lot on the day of the crash to 8...thanks for the support CREAF!!! BTW, they bought a lot more at 12+...they were probably thinking that the rocket ride from earnings was sustainable... I don't think that is what they were thinking at all. Corporations are not trading houses; they do not bet on short term fluctuations. The reasons are typically either a belief in the investments solid future, or strategic positioning of theirown business. Either way this is good news for TDFX. Sun Tzu
