S3’s Savage4 Accelerator Announced

S3's Savage4 Accelerator lands in February 1999 as PC hardware makers keep pushing faster chips, cards, drivers, and gaming peripherals.

S3's Savage4 Accelerator has been announced, adding another target to a 1999 calendar already packed with more games and gear than anybody has time to play.

The names attached here include Setting, AGP, DX6, Built, and S3TC. The platform angle centers on DVD. The hook is DVD. The hard numbers include 32 MB.

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.
