3Dfx news
xlr8yourmac thanks 3dfx for their Mac support in the name of the community and points out that you CAN run Quake 3 final with 8MB Voodoo1 cards at low settings. Q3test also runs with 4MB cards, from Demotest up, there will be lockups due to VRAM lacks. 8MB cards run fine though.

Motorola does not?
Mac3D notes that according to MacUser UK, Motorola is by no means holding IBM off supplying Apple with faster and cheaper G4 chips. Why nobody ships any remains a miracle therefore... Motorola is instead working on the G4e, which again, is very, very good news.

MOSR
MOSR rumors that UMA 2 may indeed ship with standard 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet networking. Obviously the OEM suppliers do have the product, now I gues it is all a question of the price.

Newer upgrades to support Mac OS X?
AppleInsider notes that Newer technolgy is working on a patch to have all their CPU upgrade cards work with Mac OS X. Apple has said that only Apple branded PPC Cards would work under Mac OS X. According to AppleInsider, Newer has found a way to circumvent this issue, so owners of Newer upgrades may be looking forward to Mac OS X on their machines. (maybe)
