Considering that Trident folded Others mean Matrox and 3dlabs.
There are about 140 million PCs shipped per year, so make your conclusions based on that.
The ratio between home and business is 75% vs 25%. The enthusiast market should be in the former 25%.

Shipments of desktops, notebooks and servers based around PC architectures will rise 8.3 percent in 2003 to 147.5 million units, then rise 11 percent to 163.8 million units in 2004, according to IDC.
PC shipments will increase in 2002, but only marginally. Shipments will likely reach 136.2 million units for 2002, a 1.6 percent increase over 2001, IDC said. Last year marked one of the worst years in the history of the PC industry, with shipments shrinking 4.2 percent worldwide and 11.4 percent in the United States.
The total number of PCs shipped in 2002 likely will be below the high watermark of 139.9 million units in 2000, a milestone that 2003 will surpass if projections are met.
