Are you ready

[MiNdVelocity]

Hey, did Nvidia do anything similar to the "Are you ready" thing with any of their past chipsets? I was just curious.

OT: I don't if it's just me, but I've grown a bit allergic to the term ferocious, reading NV PR stuff

I think its pretty cool as the 3D geek i´am!

I think for every chipset after the TNT2 line.

A tease from Ben from nvnews:

The page that NVIDIA put up saying "Are you Ready?" has been updated. Click the link to see what's new
A little birdy told me to keep checking the site every couple of days .

Ready!!??? Hell, we been ready for MONTHS! It's nVidia that hasn't!

 

[Mephisto]

I was ready in Q3. Now I own a Radeon 9700.

I hope for a fix in the next update.
The italian for 'are you ready' is 'Siete pronti', and not 'Sieti pronti'
However, since my english is far worse than their italian I may forgive them

ciao,
Marco

Yes, but not this long before launch. I think nVidia having a really hard time handling such a long product delay...they've never had to before...

 

[RussSchultz]

Hmm? I think the Geforce product launch had a countdown that was weeks/months long.

and if you go into TESS and type in ZForce you will see it is a nVidia trademark for a GPU

I didn't think so. I thought it was just a few days. Could be wrong, though, I suppose.

Registered May 22, 2001. Probably just a name they were thinking of using for something last year (Alternate name for the GeForce4 Ti or MX?).

I really, really hope that the new name is not reminiscent of the current GeForce name at all.
