diamond used to be real big in Europe, back in the days of 3dfx there were 2 main card brands - Richeous orchid and the Diamond Monster voodoo 1 and 2 cards until both companies got purchased when 3dfx went greedy and made the voodoo 3 series.

Diamond use to be a major player in the video card and modems a while back. But for whatever reason disappeared out of the scene until now. You don't find (if any) diamond products in brick & mortar stores as in days past. I honestly thought they were out of business.
