No more rumors and hints on G800?

Why would Matrox unveil 2 chips? I would expect the chips to be the same. The board architecture, on the other hand, would probably make the difference (if there is one) between a "Gamer" board and a "Business" board.

btw- since everyone is speculating to and fro around this place, I'd like to speculate the the walls at Matrox are light blue.

ROTFL,
that sure would make a nice name for M's next-gen chip: TCFKAG800 - the chip formerly known as G800

Amish,

Why wouldn't they? If one is a total new core and the other is a progression, it could very well serve two markets.

Sorry, I guess that didn't come out they way I planned.

I kinda meant that I didn't think that Matrox would announce 2 chips at the same time. For example:

We'd like to introduce our new chips, the GXXX and GXXY. We plan to market the XXX for business and the XXY for gamers.

I figured they might just make a "Business" board and a "Gamer" board out of the same chip...kinda like the 400 and the 400MAX.

I guess what you meant was: "this is the last you'll hear from me under this account...now I'll make up a new account and pretend to be someone else, like any good two-faced back stabber would"

The reason I ask, blue helix, is because right here you said that was the last we were going to hear from you. Well, you can't stay away from such a bunch of friendly guys can you?

Bahahahahahahaha!

BUSTED!

Don't worry, Martin, I have saved all the pages and all of your posts as both nihilist and as Blue_Helix. So, deleting them is not going to do much good.

Now now this has been a very good thread so far lets not spoil it children

Man this sucks when someone starts deleting their post out of the middle of a thread. Throws the whole thing off. Guess some people just can't stand behind what they write.

sheesh, you people need to learn timing.
