All, Disapointing day today. S3 announces some PR and the stock gets rocked. Did we see profit taking today? Large volume, down close to a point from the days high. Traders exiting early or did some shorts come into the stock since we were close to our 52 week high. stockroach

GX4 and Savage/MX by mid year.... that's not far off at all. Hope they are as well received as savage4 seems to be. With some luck, Savage/NB will be EARLY 2nd half of the year. <<<Sources close to the company are also tipping their hand about future products. A chip dubbed the GX4 is due by mid-year. This is a brand new architecture for the high-end of the graphics market. Also, Savage/MX, a version of Savage for the portable PC market is slated for mid-year using Intel's AGP technology. Maybe most significantly S3 is planning a product called Savage/NB, an architecture which integrates a graphics chip with the PC's chipset for the lower end of the PC market, slated for second half of 1999. This will be an important trend in the burgeoning sub-$1,000 PC market. A chipset that integrates a graphics chip would constitute a component which rivals the microprocessor in importance. To date, the chipset and graphics chips have been discrete components. >>>>
