Round Two ! (SFX: Big Gong with reverb) dailynews.yahoo.com Cool? Maybe, but 3dfx believes the move indicates how scared its competitors are. "It's a desperate move by a desperate company," said Michael Howse, vice president of worldwide marketing at the Sunnyvale, Calif., chip and board maker.

In April, two of 3dfx's three new boards were the top sellers in the retail market, according to market watcher PC Data. ------------------------- Fix the ticker symbol, we're not a BB stock Add more emotionally charged adjectives ie "desperate" Get legal moving for a TRO.
