OK, for starters, I am overall very pleased with the announcements...but.... No 32 bit output? No real use of AGP for textures? 16MB limitation? With a clock running at 183MhZ, and the lack of 32 bit color, I can't help but think that there is a lot of Voodoo2 in Voodoo3...while it sounds great, it also sounds a lot like a cranked up V2 board on a single chip. Though I am sure that this has taken a lot of technological wizardry, it isn't exactly what I was expecting...and even though I think the color output and image quality of Banshee is great, it is one of those damned points that all the reviewers want to hammer us with... Also, Rage 128 is shipping. I am also hoping for another first tier design win...again, can anybody (CHIP!!!) find out what STBI is doing with Banshee chips??????
