The other question is will the TnT go away as the standard chipset? Gateway may have some time to go on their TnT order or Diamond may have a ton of stock to burn off and are offering a great price. If the V3 is only an option on the Gateway machines, then I'm a little disappointed. The fact that it is a V3 3000 leads me to belive that it is intended just to be an option.

Remember, the V3 OEM versions have the TV-Out reversed. So the V3-3000 becomes more attractive provided the OEM does not need TV-Out.

The previous posts about Gateway's handling of 3dfx upgrade options gave them a poor impression. But maybe 3dfx has learned something from the former STB boys and will have Gateway employees pimping their products. I doubt it. But wouldn't it be cool if they gave each Gateway employee a V3-2000 for $50?
