Remember that company called Diamond MultiMedia? You know the company famous for the Viper, the Voodoo3D, the TNT and the Monster line of video cards. Well this company has gone through some changes and now is back in the saddle again bringing new products to light. Diamond MultiMedia is name that everybody I ask has heard of, but has no idea what they make and what they are doing now. Diamond has changed hands at least three times that I know of, and with each rebirth it gains a bit more of a consumer following and better name recognition. Diamond also developed the 1st commercially successful MP3 player and went to court with RIAA in the early 90s. Diamond won, but the legal fees took Diamond to bankruptcy, but paved the way for the MP3 player revolution. Diamond was also the sole owners and providers of FireGL line of workstation cards, but ATI bought that brand and its rights after that RIAA lawsuit. So you can see there has been some great history behind the brand and the legend continues on with new faces and new goals.
