And it's supported by how many programs (especially popular games)?  How
many people have one?  How much does it cost?  Please state precise
benchmark figures using real world applications (like GLQuake or Quake
2) to support your claim that 3dfx "sucks", or give us the exact URL to
research the numbers ourselves.  Please give us the location where
screenshots and/or movies of games that are fully optimized for both
native 3dfx Voodoo/Voodoo 2 and Rendition V2x00 and use the maximum
capabilities of each chipset can be downloaded so we can see the
performance difference for ourselves.

Don't start tossing out random pointless flames; they do nothing to
contribute to the discussion.
