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.
