Did we know this? If so, is this integrated into the device? Q. Any plans for TV out and TV in? A. Voodoo3 supports both. Also, any thoughts or comments on this one? Tricky indeed. Since everyone is already talking about 32MB cards, why not 216MB to run with 2V3? Then you get your 1600x1200x16 at 60Hz. Which would you prefer, 1600x1200x16x60 or 1024x768x32x60? Duh. . . I'm thinking I should go buy stock in large monitors. :) Honestly, SLI is part of the V2 core, so they would have to expend just as much effort to remove it as they would to enhance it a bit. Putting them both on the same card eliminates the need for the PCI bridge. This would also explain why V3 was "architected" for 32MB, yet doesn't support it fully. You could even put a second monitor port to be fed by the second 2D/RAMDAC that would otherwise go unused. Boy, aren't I just full of bright ideas today? :) Q. Are there any "SLI-like" plans for Voodoo3? A. Wow! SLI would be cool, but it would be tricky with an integrated 2D/3D device. Beyond adding 4X AGP, we can't yet talk about any future plans or ideas for Voodoo3.
