      Yeah, I saw that. Congrats to Matrox!!!

      Now, if the cards were actaully available to consumers (still no MAX in the US except for online store) before next years awards, that would _really_ be something.

        Well...as a satisfied G200 user, I have been patiently waiting for a G400 MAX for over 3 months now. I don't want to deal with Matrox directly to get the MAX because of how Matrox is handling the retail distribution thing. I don't like the fact that just because there is a great demand for a product, the manufactuer is "seemingly" holding back to make a better profit by selling to consumers directly (at a fix price that is greater than retail)

        I have read somewhere that the product was not shipped due to disagreements that came up with the distribution channel. I would love to know what that disagreement is.

        As for now...I think I'll wait a little longer and see what happens.
