I have and still use the 3DFX cards. I loved that company because they were genuinely interested in the customer. NVidia drove them out of business and bought the rights to the drivers, etc.

Without starting a flame war, I think you've got that backwards.
It was nvidia that cared for the customers.
3DFx drove themselves out of business by refusing to keep up with the times. They tried to create a monopoly in the video card industry with GLide.
Nvidia were the ones that pushed the industry forward and made it what it is today.
If Nvidia had lost out to 3DFx, we'd be using video cards with 100 VSA-100 chips and still playing in 16bit color.
Wow, a 3dfx vs. nVidia flame war? :Q
Haven't seen that in ages, might be nostalgically fun, J/K
