I'd go out and use this money to buy something with a better strategic fit, like S3 Inc., which has a market cap of $250M and sales about the same. From business wire (12 hours later) biz.yahoo.com S3 Announces 10-Year Cross Licensing Agreement With Intel Intel to Purchase Warrants for S3 Shares S3 to be an Intel AGP 4X Validation Partner SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 17, 1998--S3 Inc.
