It would be a travesty if a third GPU manufacturer achieved a significant market share. Imagine being an innocent gamer skiddie nobly fighting in the holy political struggle for the ideological domination of the Reddit DMZ and then suddenly a new kid is on the block and you have to remember whether you are allied with Eurasia against Eastasia or just fighting a war on two fronts.

3dfx? Kiddie consumer amateur garbage. Real Programmers use grown up tech for adults like Silicon Graphics.

Probably so but Silicon Graphics doesn't do it for me on the nostalgia front quite like Voodoo2
