so i have been scouring the net to get all the juicy details on this card. It appears the the big N has decided to use the excelent 3dfx technology they bought up a couple years ago.
And who can blame them. It WAS the king of the hill for many years.
I found a few places to preorder them and the going price has been 399.99 USD. All i can say is I gotta start saving my pennies now.
