3dfx Moves South

3dfx has moved a step closer to realizing its goal of product globalization by signing a series of deals to move into Latin American markets. The company has penned distribution agreements with Tech Data, Intcomex, Tech Media, Dasmico and Dual Comp that will bring localized Spanish and Portuguese versions of the Voodoo 3 product line to Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Panama, Guatemala and the Caribbean. 3dfx's Latin American move will also include the establishment of dedicated technical support and localized sales representation. "We believe there is a significant opportunity for us in Latin America as sales of retail add-in boards continue to grow in the region," said 3dfx Vice President of World Wide Sales Richard Burns.
