I won't discuss why I made the comments above. I'm under NDA and most of what I know is very confidential, whichever way you slice it. I'm confident in the company I work for. That much I can say.

NV has built a very good name for themselves. Even if the new chip is completely inferior to our 8500. It certainly a bit of a speed boost to the GF3, but it's much more of a GF3.1 than a GF4. For laughs, read the "review" over at Tom's Hardware. "Laughs" because his site and his "knowledge" is a complete joke. Anyway, the big money isn't in retail sales of the top chip.

Mark is an experienced and proven kernel-space programmer. He's blown the door wide open for other people to play and hack with the empeg. I don't know how the community could ever thank him enough.
