S3 has caught up with the times
It has been a while since we’ve heard from S3 Graphics though that doesn’t mean they are gone. The Chrome 430 that was announced a while ago is starting to show up on reviewers desks and the first review is at VIA Arena. The stats of the card sound good, a 625MHz engine clock and 256MB of 500MHz GDDR2 and full support for DX10 and PCI Express 2.0. All that for $60 and an extra 143W power draw on your system.
