Hi I have heard that the g400 chip is a .25 micron process, is there any news on Matrox produceing a .18 chip any time soon?.
I wish they could scamm intel into fabing for them!!.
I am right in assuming the G-series Rainbow runner is a pretty mature item(prices are stable), Cause I want to get one and a g400, I can wait for the G400 as the prcies will drop a fair bit in the next couple o months whereas the RR has'nt changed in price much over the last year.
As with most new video/cpu releases from most manufactuers have similar transisters counts, just implement them differenlty. The geForce thing sound cool but is going to need a large change in software to relly get going but the g400's Bum mapping is a techniuqe that gives good results, using current softwere (bump map,texture map are similar)
PS I have g200 and I will buy a g400 when they go to a smaller process(or better)
I got stung once with g200 opengl drivers, I am going to a bit more cautious buying vapourware
