With the launch of Savage4, S3 and Diamond Multimedia have established a strategic partnership to bring today's hottest graphics technology to market at volume price points. Targeted at both retail and OEM markets, Diamond's first Savage4-based product is expected to provide a commanding solution for commercial, professional and gaming applications.

Spanning all volume mainstream PC price segments, Savage4 comes in two configurations: the Savage4 PRO and the Savage4 GT. Targeted for mid-range volume PC markets, the Savage4 PRO offers industry-first
AGP 4X technology, 143MHz memory support and up to a 32MB local frame buffer, while the Savage4 GT offers AGP 2X technology, 125MHz memory support and up to a 16MB local frame buffer for low-end PC markets.

So tell me again where the Savage4 fits in?
1) High performance -- It doesn't sound like the S4 fits in this category.

2) Very cheap with good performance -- It doesn't fit in this category either. It's
much too expensive. ATI dominates this market.

3) Mid price with decent performance -- Hmm. It'll be hard to compete against
