There's been some discussion on AOL that the VooDoo 3 is not going to be
OEM'd like the current 3dfx cards.  There will be fewer choices, and
little price competition.

What I'm hearing is that 3dfx will have a card, and one other
manufacturer.  That's it.

I hope this turns out to be bogus information, but if it's true, it will
really suck :(

Apparantly, 3dfx wants a piece of the direct-to-OEM pie that ATI
currently has...
