SLI...CrossfireX? Pfft we'll show you all! 233 VSA-100 chips at 166MHz! That's right, 38.678GHz!!!

Do people ever pay attention to what day it is when they wake up?

Technically, Nvidia owns all the 3Dfx/3dfx 'everything' so... they could change their name I suppose.

I'm not sure if it's funny or insulting.

The acquisition of 3DFX was not universally received with good feelings.

3dfx still had the best commercials

That cost me $2000. My 3dfx stock dropped from like $20 a share to like $ .02.... It was my first stock purchase, and my wife wasnt impressed when I informed her of the news. I still have my voodoo II, and 3 card laying here as a reminder.
