Someone recently announced their voodoo2 is going to be $249. I cant remember who the hell it was though! Kieron Dodds wrote in message <6ajgsc$7c5@ecuador.earthlink.net>... :Quite true. But, the $200 figure is for Voodoo 2 a year from now. Any more :advanced chipset (Voodoo 3?) would be more. If you want to go into the :third generation, then you'ld spend $150 now, and $300-$400 a year from now. :If you wait for Voodoo 2 to hit $200 (probably a month or to after initial :ship), you'ld be able to hold until the next generation chipset is shipping :in force easily, then costing another $200. You still save money. Of :course, this is all prediction based on trends and knowledge, things may :very well turn out *not* to be that way, but I think I'll be proven right. : :None of your business wrote in message <34ccc145.2625611@news.erols.com>... :>On Sat, 24 Jan 1998 13:10:04 -0500, "Kieron Dodds" :><kdodds@email.msn.com> wrote: :> :> :>> :>>IMO, spending $150 now for Voodoo, and even just $200 a year from now :isn't :>>as effective as spending $300 in a few months. :>> :>However, it is a way to amortize the cost.
