They're pretty ambitious and confident sounding...shooting for about 10% of the marketshare. Not only that, but he comments a lil bit on the state of the graphics market they are entering. Interestingly enough...there are several questions which he chose either to A) not answer or B) didn't know the answer to. In either case it looks bad on his part (XGI marketing exec Andy Chang).

Good catch TKS. I was wondering what's been going on at XGI lately. With all these advertisements I'm surprised they haven't delivered a test sample to Review sites yet. Didn't THG say about a month ago that they would be testing XGI cards about a couple of weeks from then?

Yeah, and what about S3s 'deltachrome'? I'd love to see some benchmarks.

I not only hope the DeltaChrome sux, I hope it blows motherboards, people who deal with VIA deserve such an end.
