The Death of 3dfx -- 9:01 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The FiringSquad talked with a super-secret insider who chronicles the history and death of 3dfx. The article talks about what led up to the company's downfall and what plans they had for future chips. I guess it's no big surprise that one or two major goof-ups are enough to destroy a company with razor-thin margins. It seems like I was also correct in that the purchase of STB was the (or one of the) beginning of the end. Thanks Slashdot.
