I've read that before. the fun part is that its outdated now with all the mobile platforms and webgl and stuff. needs a new chapter. :P

Some of it was written a bit off, introducing the Geforce256 (late 1999) right before DX6 (mid 98) which made it appear as if Nvidia were ahead by a year or so.

I didn't say it was an accurate history - just an interesting one. ;)
