Where Is V5-6000?

Related Topics – 3dfx

You guys might remember a while ago that 3dfx was telling folks the Voodoo5-6000 would be shipping in the middle of June. Well its that time of the month right now and not a peep from 3dfx. Also, I got 2 seperate emails from guys who work at PC stores telling me that they got notices taking the V5-6000 off the incoming list which it was slated to arrive quite soon.

Heh..I received the 3dfx June 2000 SEC report last night and it is in front of me if anyone needs facts from their "performance".

from their CEO: " Turning a company around takes time, patience and effort. Although it will not happen overnight, I am confident that we have the knowledge, team and competence to move 3dfx forward. Clearly we are on the right path."

obviously worded from someone NOT in first place.

Just so you know..
Nvidia's stock sits at $172 a share,
and 3dfx's stock sits at $8 a share.

Woo-hoo.

The real problem with 3DFX is that they're losing the war.
(Just go back about six months and compare the tale of their stock
with that of Nvidia's..)
They're desperate..
And their video cards aren't that great.
:)
$600..? I could see spending $600 when 3D cards had any longevity..
But today they last six months at the top of the pile, if that.
My GeForce is no longer king of the hill.
I spent $250 and I'm kinda miffed. If I had spent $600 I'd bang my head against a wall.

And I already hacked a hole in my case and had my house rewired!

I guess I'll just have to suffer with the V5-5500 for a while longer...
