Next they are moving in "mobile" and "set-top" production. ...HUH? "Set-top"???? Like a game system ala Nintendo or the dreaded Sega? "Mobile" like laptops? Sorry, I don't have any info on these to go by, so this is something we are going to have to cover in a future issue of the Voodoo Review. I love it when a plan comes together... Pat

Sun, You and I agree on a lot of things...but nVidia going belly up is not one of them. They are whooping our buts in the OEM arena, and their current product is truly a generation ahead of their previous products...V2 really wasn't that new to V1...now V3 looks like it will handle multi-texturing internally via dual pipelines...6 months after nVidia...and while I think V2 image quality is great and indistinguishable from other cards when running a game at speed, stills do (apparently :) show that they are leading us in image quality. Now if we more than double the nVidia's clock to 183mHz, looks like they will have a V3 type board...with better image quality and better use of AGP...and a lot more big name OEM deals...and the (clearly) tremendous support of OEM giant STBI...they are hanging on without the IPO...if they can bring just 7M shares at $12, even after paying off their creditors/partners, they will have a nice war chest...SIII, belly up for sure- nVidia...nope. I hate 'em, but I give them credit for what they have done. Chip!!!! Postal is accurate... show me the info!! Thanks for your great reporting...it is so good that I officially promote you from cub reporter to "Chief TDFX Event Correspondent" Anybody else having problems getting through to SI tonight? Jeff
