Let's hope you are right :)

I think, however, that D3D cards are really gaining ground fast.  I
didn't think this would happen, but my new Viper 550 actually
outperforms my Monster II in Viper, and it also provides me 1024X768 res
which the Monster does not.  The Viper 550 runs 1024X768 at the exact
same fps that the Voodoo II does at only 800X600, 51fps.

We'll have to see how the Rage Fury does.  I was actually going to wait
for one of those, but I tired of the delays.  Plus, there have been
enough heat issues with that chipset that I'm more comfortable letting
it be in the field for 6 months or so...

I'm not nuts about Microsoft Technology, but I _do_ believe that the D3D
API, that all card companies and game companies can write to, is a good
idea...
