Pirhana- Thanks for the laugh! And thanks to TNT for keeping the shelves nice and clean :) At retail, anyway. Sun- gotcha- was going off of memory there, and, uh, I could stand to use a few more megs.. All- I have lightened the TDFX load a bit today...still have a good chunk, but about half of where I was not too long ago...love the movement, but this is one stock that hasn't earned my trust :) Still believe in the company, despite my gloomy posts, so this is more of a "sleep better" kind of thing... BTW, still waiting for my computer stuff...they screwed up on the moboard, and I am anxiously awaiting Fedex...

<<The SLI was one of the smartest things 3Dfx had done and I hate to see that idea vanish.>> I have to disagree. The cost/benefit is no longer there. SLI would require two boards and double the memory (but only half that effective memory). It would be much less costly to use a form of internal parallelism than go that route. I'm sure we'll see some of this in Rampage. It may be a multi-chip solution if they feel they can't fit a dual or triple pipeline onto the chip. (I got this info a while back from the 3dfx newsgroup and posted it to this board.) Pat
