Michael, I believe that fundamentally, Nvidia has the most compelling solution. I think it's more than just marketing hype that's pushing their products. It's excitement about new features. What kind of HDTV capability will the Voodoo cards have? I haven't heard anything in this area. And this isn't hype, this is something we should be able to use real soon. Hauppauge is supposed to release their HDTV card in June (that's all the info I have, don't ask for more). I think the lack of new compelling features (at least from my perspective) from 3dfx, and the presence of sure fire crowd pleasers from Nvidia (DVD playback that can look 3 dimensional at high resolutions, compatibility with HDTV hardware, T&L etc.), explain the disparity. You do raise many good points, but I don't really see any conspiracy here.
