I went to Beyond3D (I like to see the fan sites react to the death of 3dfx) and noticed someone posted a pic of the prototype board. I don't know if it's real or not. Anyway.... Judge for yourself.

looks to me like someone did some creative photoshop work with a V3-3000
That heatsink is the right size and shape and in the right place and the board is the right size. It's also not AGP4x. I'm sure 3dfx wouldn't have made Rampage AGP2x only.

Why would they have fans on two of there gpu's and not the other two? I think theres 4 vs-100 gpus on the rampage not sure though.

Oh yeah, I would never belive that 3dfx would make the same mistake again, no support for AGP pro.

<<rampage never made it to manufactures for even samples!>>

Someone in the investment comunity that had been under NDA revealed that infact Rampage had taped and they had silicon in hand and running and was due to be resubmitted for the second respin. SAGE (the T&amp;L engine) was believed to be due back from the FAB the day of the announcement.
