It never ceases to amaze me how passionate people can get about mere bits of computer equipment! I think that gaming performance and compatibility have been 3dfx's strengths in the past. 3dfx will continue to do OK as long as they continue to deliver in these two areas. The day they fall behind in this respect will be the day that they are finished as a company. Apart from people who are more focussed on hardware itself rather than playing games, no-one really cares about what functions a card does or does not support - as long as it delivers the goods with their favourite games. That is what counts. No-one who is seriously into high-end gaming would keep a video card more than 12 months these days. Functions that will only be really important in future games can be left to future cards - that it the reality of selling into such a quickly changing market. Cheers - BB
