Voodoo3 Debuted
Voodoo3 lands in February 1999 as PC hardware makers keep pushing faster chips, cards, drivers, and gaming peripherals.
Voodoo3 is another February 1999 item worth filing away, because the small notices often tell you where the industry is heading next.
The names attached here include 3dfx Interactive, Based, 3dfx Interactive's, 3dfx, and Answering. The platform angle centers on PC and DVD. The hook is LAN, online, OpenGL, DVD, and demo.
The hardware race is getting mean now. Every new board, driver, chip, and oddball peripheral is trying to be the thing that makes your rig feel less old by next week.
