What a coincidence!!!! They are getting their heads handed to them by Creative's earlier release date and better product options (ie 12mb board which Diamond says we dont need) with people all over the world cancelling their Diamond pre orders to get the Creative Voodoo2 offerings and all of a sudden Diamond finds a bug. oooh yea....sounds right to me. Actually Diamond has just convinced me that they are completely full of shit....and that if I were 3dfx I would strongly wonder whether they should continue being one of my partners. Scott Sellers of 3dfx has already posted on the 3dfx newsgroup....to paraphrase in my words....DIAMOND is full of shit. The Voodoo2 has been tested extensively in both artificial heat and cold with varying voltages and other creative things that might be found in some geniuses home computer....it passed those tests...needless to say. Yes I think that covers all that needs to be said of Diamonds shitty attempt to gain market share. Full of shit. PAPA DOC >Diamond has discovered overheating problems in the Vodoo II.
