It's in French.

Don't know if this has been posted or not. Talks of CeBit and the lack of G800 as well as the rumor of something called the G550.

Babbled:

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">On the stand of Matrox (in the shape of pyramid) nothing transcendent. Indeed, the Canadian manufacturer who celebrated it y?a a few days his 25th year d?existence (and of profits) communicated only on his current range, namely Millennium G450, Marvel G450 eTV and G200 MMS (card quadri screen), while insisting rightly on his advanced technology with regard to Bi screen thanks to DualHead of 3rd generation. However, Matrox prepares a new chip. This last, which will not s?appellera G800 (can be G550 as l?indiquait Reactor Critical a few days ago?) should be officially announced mid-June, for an availability planned for the re-entry. Before is that, it unfortunately impossible for us to communicate the specifications of chip to you? all that we can say to you, c?est qu?il s?agit once again d?un produced directed towards the professionals and not towards the players? thus wait performances 3D averages.</font>

In fact what it says its that we could expect something announced mid-June, with the product available somewhere at school entry. The product would be professional oriented.

They say they can't give the spec till June...

Well another rumor (well nothing really new here).

Another random release date eh?

Actually it seems Matrox have been giving presentations behind closed doors at CeBIT under strict NDAs for those lucky enough to get in.

this is still promising...

I am actually almost happy that Matrox didn't announce anything at CeBit. Otherwise, I would felt like being cheated, because my AIW Radeon is only 3 months old.

And changing GFX card every 3 months feels like waste of money.

But still, even though my Radeon is a good card, (but drivers are far from to implement everything that HW can offer.) I am ready to buy new Matrox card when they have fast enough 3D.

P.S. I had G400 16MB before Radeon...

No way? That would explain the resurgance of rumors all saying mid-June.
Hard to know who to believe though.
