Well this about verifies it... From AGN3d... So if you wanted to get a hands on look at the first few Voodoo3 cards to come off the line, you can watch it on the Hardware show. On the 22nd we will be posting a detailed preview of the card, with a chance for you to win a Voodoo3 of your own! If memory serves, it took about a week between when V2 started rolling off the line and seeing the product in stores. I bought two CL Blasters the day they hit the shelves. If we use the Banshee ramp as an example that will mean we'll have two full months of shipping V3 chips. It would appear that the "rumor" I posted earlier has two kernals of truth: 1) Rampage is no longer the code name (it's now referred to as the "Iron Gut" in honor of us) 2) V3 will ship in the end of Feb. or beginning of March Pat "2 Iron Guts on backorder for SLI" Grinsell
