SharkyExtreme sent this quote from Brian Burke of 3dfx which several people have been forwarding around. Not quite sure who Brian originally sent this to since I've seen the entire email posted on a few sites but here you go. Word from 3dfx on the delay of the Voodoo4 Napalm:

"Some of 3dfx Interactive's executives have stated publicly that our next generation product may be delayed until Q1 and may not ship in Q4 in time for Christmas. Because of a few minor setbacks (that have been corrected), the Q4 date is admittedly very aggressive. With a technology product like this, it is not uncommon for unforeseen circumstances to arise in the final stages of product development. As a result, we are steering the public to expect our next generation product in Q1, because we believe this is the most probable result. We are standing by our statements that our next generation product will be head and shoulders above competitor's products and will solidify the technology lead for 3dfx. Additionally, our internal roadmap will maintain that lead for 3dfx well into the future"
