    They hope to have a new chip in August and yes they are afraid, very afraid

      And I won't be surpriced if it once again a warmed over GF1 core again.....

        I realy hope that it turns out that NV30 wotn be faster than the Matrox chip.... Perhaps they have to rush out an un-finished chip to try to beat Matrox!

          Why would you wish for their product to be crappy? I think brand-loyalty is getting too deep into your head. The reason why I won't buy a nvidia card is because I don't like their products. Not because I have some weird hatred for nvida and everything they are.

          I sure do hope their next products don't suck. The world would be a better place if a lot of things stopped sucking... But from extrapolating from what we know and what we've experienced, matrox makes the better stuff. Thats why I'm very intertested in what matrox has to offer next.
          Primary system specs:
          Asus A7V266-E | AthlonXP 1700+ | Alpha Pal8045T | Radeon 8500 | 256mb Crucial DDR | Maxtor D740X 40gb | Ricoh 8/8/32 | Toshiba 16X DVD | 3Com 905C TX NIC | Hercules Fortissimo II | Antec SX635 | Win2k Pro

              What I think we can say by now is that NV30 is finally something new from nVidia. Maybe it'll even have a new name
              Maybe even the non- nVidiots will finally see traces of 3dfx/GigaPixel in the new product. Or maybe not.
              R300 is probably also something new because it comes from the ArtX team...
              I think that Matrox and 3DLabs have been a little surprise for the major players, so they have indeed had to push their product development teams a bit harder lately.

                  I will never buy anything that has nV in or on it... why you ask?, because they are nothing more than corporate thieves... have stolen technology from 3dfx, Matrox, and SGI

                  How else do you think they have survived so long... most certainly not from spending the time to develope it themselves

                    Just curious,

                    What did they steal from SGI? OpenGL coders?
                    Yes I drive a 13yr old Volkswagen; Yes I'm a dirt poor college student; Yes every tank of gas is more $$ than the value of my car, but it is FUN to drive, so I don't care about your ego or how much your car cost, if you insist on going the exact same speed in the passing lane as the car next to you for 10 minutes, stop being a self righteous ass, move the hell over and just let me by!!!

                      So I guess this means you will never buy an AMD cpu either ?

                      (but will stick with Intel and their 5-7 billion $ development programme ) ( he he )

                        I don't recall AMD stealing. Reverse engineering is not stealing.
                        Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.

                          that's what the reverse engineering guys say...
                          Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.

                            I don't think they even did much reverse engineering. They were a legitimate second source for x86(intel gave them the chip designs for 286's, 386's I am not sure about 486's tho) up until the pentiums hit town.

                            and there new chips seem to have a more alpha in them than intel
                            (EV6 etc)
