"The larger problem is that TDFX has positioned itself as the leader in FPS. This technology allows other boardmakers to take this prize. So where does this leave us shareholders...waiting for Rampage." This is a leap-frog business so, unless 3Dfx can get an Intel like lead, we had better get used to it. According to a poll (I know not everyone likes them) on AGN3D, 75% of respondents would spend $150-200 on a 3D card. A mini spike occurs at $275. agn3d.com Here's more on Parallel Graphics Processing (PGP?). Thresh & Kenn see it working on a pair of Banshees so don't be calling this TNT SLI anymore, understand?! Interesting & informative write-up: firingsquad.com Performance isn't going to be 2x. More like a 30-70% increase depending on the game and/or card. Peter S
