What I don't understand is why OEM's (especially those who care about their customers) would opt for a clearly inferior product? You would think that large OEM's would have a research and or benchmarking type facility that would be able to make objective evaluations of competing products. This kind of news should be cut-and-pasted into TDFX's OEM marketing presentations. If I were TDFX I would offer to give the OEM's a free Banshee card to replace those endVidia ones that are returned. (Let 'em write it off as an advertising or sales expense) Once the "Oh...My...God...!" reviews come back from the now overly satisfied customers the next design win for TDFX will be a no-brainer. Mike
