Well its official now, 3dfx has decided to change their business plan (As mentioned yesterday). 3dfx was pretty heavily criticized for their buyout of STB a while back and for once it seems the critics were right. (Or got lucky). This is good news for the rest of us really, assuming 3dfx's next-gen card is competitive which most sources say it will be.

... plans to maintain its dominant retail position, expand into the OEM PC business, and to license its core graphics technology, code-named Mosaic, into non-PC markets. [...] to reduce expenses where possible in order to become more competitive in all of its key markets. The company has decided to outsource its board manufacturing to third party manufacturers and to sell its Juarez, Mexico facility.

Mosaic eh? I'm assuming thats the stuff from Gigapixel. They've also got that whole Rampage thing going on too.
