Nice topic, ah? I'll tell you what happend to me some days ago.

The thing is, that a friend of mine had asked me what I was doing and I answered that I read something about 3Dfx drivers optimisation. She then asked: "What is 3Dfx?". I woudn't answer that question, since I find this kind of ignorance bothersome; but I wanted to give her a link to what 3Dfx was, what 3Dfx did and what 3Dfx means to me, to 3D industry and to milions across the world. But I couldn't think of a site that has it all.

The best site I remembered of was Gary's dodgegarage and I gave her the link to it, but there is in fact, for a lamer, nothing of interest there. Moreover the first answer I got from her was: "I hate comic sans font" (sorry Garry, I'm being honest) Indeed, I never did pay attention that Gary did his site in Comic sans, because I payed attention to some other, more interesting and unique things in it.

So, in the end, I had to explain everything, from the beggining to the end because I didn't find a nice little link to do the job for me. Can you guys remeber of some site that has it's all in one place? Also for the newcomers that never heard of 3Dfx?

I'm surprised that someone could get so turned off over the fonts in a web page ::)

It's not 3dfx specific but I think it's a good start.

this might be an idea as well:

the greatest Gallery of all time, thanx to Surrimugge :)

Might give her an idea that there are more people collecting these exellent pieces of history ;)

3dfx Revolutionized the Market almost every tie they had something new brands like Ati, nvidia and other ones did not like the way 3dfx did.

3Dfx Interactive was also the first to bring 3D acceleration to the Desktop with the SST -1 aka Sellers, Smith, Terolli -1 aka The Voodoo Graphics which really revolutionised the market and the world of 3D graphics.

Obi-Wan, 3dfx was not the first to bring 3D acceleration to the desktop.

they were the first to bring 3D Acceleration to the desktop in a way of success ;)

3dfx made 3D a Revolution on the Desktop as many others did not.
