Here is an interesting thought: Voodoo 3- more of the same,just faster than voodoo2 with some extra enhancements. Competitors have new innovative features. Pentium 3- more of the same, just faster than pentium 2 with some extra enhancements. Competitors will have new innovative features (K7- faster bus, larger cashe, etc) So. Do we have Intel-like clout in the graphics sector? Nope. Hope we can make it work... For what its worth, I am really hoping P3 flops. The 3 is about as meaningless as the Voodoo's 3, or the 98 in Win98...of course I don't want it to flop just because of that (hey, I love our 3 now)...I just don't care for Intel :) At what point does the exponential curve of Moores law result in diminishing returns? With the current state of software apps, I'd say soon; at least a breather until software catches up. Don't know why 98% of the buying community would want to pay a premium so out of line for the marginal performance gains...Low margin Celerons for all!
