Tapped out means that the hardware can get no better... But we have this from [H] that says that the NV30 is NOT yet tapped out!

"Historically Nvidia done a good job with tapeouts etc... We're in the process of wrapping it up" J. Huang
"So it has not been taped out yet?" Analyst
"We're in the process of wrapping it up so the answer is not" J. Huang
Now, while this may be taken many ways, we talked with NVIDIA and they again reiterated that they will make their Fall release. Also there is something we have to remember, NVIDIA has historically went 90 - 100 days from tape out to product release with all their cards so they could very well meet their expected release date.
