Diamond is a Chatsworth, California based company that has made everything from Video cards, to modems, to sound cards, and even MP3 players. Throughout the 90's and the early 2000's Diamond was one of the top companies in the PC component business. But after a merger with S3 the company kind of fell out of the limelight and they are now trying to make a strong comeback with their new lines of video cards and other PC products as well.
