Word has it that the V3 will not be OEM'd out like previous versions.
3dfx will have a card, which it will sell to computer manufacturers, and
one other company will have a version of it.

I hope the person who told me this is wrong, for if he's right, we won't
see Diamond, Creative, etc... versions of the V3 and the prices will go
up from lack of competition.
