Thats Tom's fault? I thought it was because most of the other cards you mentioned were gonna get their ass kicked by the TNT2/Voodoo 3. Nivida and 3dFX are the only two companies who have religious followings (since all the other ones have been useless up until now) so they are the ones that get the most hype. Lets see, Power VR: First card blew absolute chunks and next one is extremely late, Matrox g400: So far they have yet to make a video card thats not underpowered, S3 Savage 4: hahah S3, they have a bad rep to overcome with that crap they used to sell, 3Dlabs Permedia3: Great 3D app performance, bad game performance. -- Mr. Mojo "And a thousand thousand slimy things Lived on; and so did I."
