Flame on

Why don't you go right ahead and do that.  Then when you get arrested for
harrasment you will probably end up spending more for the fines then you would
have for a TransWarp GS card and you still won't be running any faster. 

Or better yet, since you obvisouly know more than anyone else, why no just
design your own card and stop your bitching.

If there are so many 'fast' chips out there, then why did AE have such a
problem getting 7mhz chips.  Don't you think a 10 mhz (or faster) TransWarp GS
sell like crazy?  Do you think that AE needs a lesson in marketing?  What
would they have to lose by saying they can't get enough fast chips for a
production product (yes, please remember that, *any* manufacturer must have a
stable supply for a mass production product that they can rely on.  A handful
of chips from WDC won't cut it).

flame off
