Timbur- thanks for the notice on Thief! Sun, I believe you are referring to the jillions of calls on CD that were trading only days before expiration? Out of money...didn't do anything with them, but I had been holding strong until just recently. Still have the bulk of my shares, but needed some cash to get into the oils, and CD had gone the farthest the fastest...half my shares were at avg price of $9- 2 months old :) As for V2 being faster than Rage- maybe a few games, maybe at low resolution...but clearly, Rage is superior. If you are upgrading your system, you are better off with a Rage. If you bought a Rage, you have very little reason to get a V2. End of story. And this is what upsets me. TDFX does not lead the hardware war at the moment. As for TDFX dictating to gamers- they are saying that framerate is more important than image quality. I agree. But at some point, quality counts. And we are looking at newer games supporting 32 bit from the ground up- higher quality textures, color pallette, etc. We will look worse than others. But CLEARLY the market wants these features. Perhaps TDFX will be the next Ford: "They can play games at any color depth they want, as long as it's 16 bit" :) Anywho, gotta love it days like this....except for my Starwood Lodging...HOT.. OUCH!!!! Will wait it out...if it recovers, fine, if it keeps going down I'll pick up more...what a great business.
