Pat, while you are there, could you keep your eyes open for a "display" glasses or even better helmets. I am not after 3D per se; I want huge field of view which preferably can pan as I rotate my head. Also any info on fancy controlers and joy sticks is appreciated. ------- Do we know what are the relative and absolute sizes of V3 and TNT2 chips? While the process manufacturing costs may be the same, the actual cost of the chips is exponentialy proportional to the size of the chips. thanks, ST

Patrick, Are you in or are you out? Stuart responding to this message from Patrick Grinsell on Mar 12 1999 1:48PM EST The fat lady is about to sing... I'm heading to immersion '99 Monday. I should get a good idea of what 3dfx has in the queue. I expect to see, at a minimum, a large and "real" push into other markets. I also expect, at a minimum, the previously leaked specs and timetable (November) for Rampage. These two things will be my focus. I give it a 75% chance 3dfx will be unable to meet my expectations. (With all this institutional buying lately I could be wrong though.) If my expectations are not met I will sell into what will inevitably be leaks from this meeting and hype from the Voodoo3 launch. I have signed an NDA, so don't bother asking me any questions, but I'll tell you guys on Monday whether I'm out or not. Pat
