maybe micro$oft could learn alittle bit about competition....

even though recently 3dfx has taken the clear lead with their voodoo1/2
chipsets you would think that other companies may be hesitant to develop and
try to compete with them.  it appears that videologic/NEC will actually
try....

according to tom's hardware....the new powerVR chip coming out may actually
be as fast/faster then the voodoo2....at a substantially lower price than
the voodoo2.  originally tom was hesitant about the news release concerning
the new powerVR chip....but apparently he has seen a preliminary version of
the chip in action at CeBIT and says that the chip running Quake2 is "very
fast"....

it appears that some of the big guns out there are following up on this and
that tom reports that both diamond and creative labs are going to develop
video cards based on the new VR chip (apparently as a low cost alternative
to the voodoo2...especially when the voodoo2 sales eventually start to
decline).

could this new chipset be better?  guess we can only wait to see.
i know all of you out there would like a possibility for a faster cheaper
solution to your 3D experience :)

guess now 3dfx better get cracking on their voodoo3!  (hopefully alot
cheaper also)
