Nice! I'm hoping the new S3 card would be good.
After all, I was one of the few freaks on earth who really liked the Savage 2000.

The "Columbia" looks pretty impressive. But, if S3 is consistent with this new card it'd be a piece of junk. BUT, VIA did buy S3. I hope it is a good card because someone needs to give nVidia a run for its money with the NV20.

I loved my little Savage 3D. It was the best $30 I ever spent.
