Tae, TDFX has already told me, in very clear language, that a merger with nVidia would NEVER happen. Personality differences/ business culture, etc. As for balance sheets, perhaps you weren't in on the TDFX IPO...our sales were negligible. We were losing money hand over fist. 6 months after the IPO we started really hitting a stride. Meanwhile, nVidia just whipped out a 50Million quarter (more than we scored in the whole year of our IPO) and a decent profit. Not to mention nice momentum. I wouldn't say that they look any worse on paper than we did at IPO- I would say they look better. This isn't to say that their financials look particularly good- just not any worse than TDFX. Lookit that volume...whooo! blowing me away!
