OK, so I'm a pitiful hardware junkie...
I got into reminiscing about the excitement we had getting Voodoo 2's
in a few recent threads. I remember the same feeling when I got my
first 3D accelerator, a Rendition Verite 1000, and later a Voodoo.

I don't feel anything coming up soon will cause the same excitement.
The progess just seems to be slowing down.  I guess that's why V3 is
disapointing to me, just not much of a step forward.  Care to
speculate on when we might see another HUGE jump, and what product
that might be?
