Thats nice..
You forgot that Voodoo3 was nothing but SLI with 2D.
Banshee was a crippled Voodoo2 with 2D and more RAM.
Voodoo2 was just 2 Voodoo1 chips with more RAM.
Riva128 is just a rehashed NV2 with more RAM.
TNT is just a rehashed Riva128 with 32bit and more RAM.
TNT2 is just a sped up TNT with more RAM.
GeForce is just 2 TNT2 chips with a T&L processor.
Rendition?  V2200 is just a rehashed V1000.
Lets not forget about S3 here..  All they have been doing is making
advacements on the Virge for the past 3 years.
So... What was your point again?
