yes, I do remember those articles, and many others with an anti-3dfx slant
too. Simple fact, GameCenter is owned by CNET, who is owned to a significant
extent by Intel. Intel is producing the next wonder-chip, the i740. The i740
is direct competition to the 3dfx chip.

It ain't rocket science fellas .
