I forget too easily :)

Does anyone here have any links (or just right 'em down here) to a 'timeline' (dates of release) of nVidia video cards from the ancient Edge (NV1??) to the Riva128...etc...etc...to the GF3?

Btw, based on these, would the GF3 ULTRA be approx 6 months away? Hmmm, there are reports it could be here as early as June-July...?

EDIT: How is the GF3's softDVD playback compared to the GF2? Hmmm, before on a GF2 i had to run a hardware DVD decoder; with the GF3, does nVidia's softDVD playback finally match the RADEON's playback, thus allowing me to get rid of my DVD hardware decoder if i get a GF3? How's the TV-out for DVD's also (as compared to the excellent TV out on the H+/DXR3)?

Don't know about a product timeline but I'm guessing October or so for a revised GF3 core.

Also the software DVD playback is roughly the same on the GF3 as the GF2.
