Thanks for the post. They touch on one of my concerns. That is: If the boxmakers don't take to 3Dfx chips, the company may find that the most fitting historical model is neither Intel nor Nike, but Apple (AAPL:Nasdaq), a company that inspires strong devotion, but even with clever advertising, has trouble moving beyond the periphery of the computer world. The question is, when you choose to buy a new PC, what do pick first? Your cpu and brand, or your graphics card? I wager to say that not many people will stop buying Compaq and Dell if those machines don't come with a 3dfx card and as a result, if 3dfx does not win strong OEM support, they will lose the war, no matter how many people like their TV ads.
