LordPatrice:

You've got all of us interested now. Geez guy, you must be on to something!!!

How 'bout posting a link to that paystub?

Feel free to black out any damaging information...but if you're really trying to give us MURCER'S hope, you could prove what you say. After all you just sent it by e-mail to some Italian spoof!!!

Gimme a link!!!

Did you guys READ the other thread this guy started? The one where he wants help with his home movies while he's at summer camp this year?

Umm... do people, even packers, at Matrox go to summer camp without losing their jobs?

Well, my girlfriend goes to summer camp because she loves to entertain the kids. I'd rather have she'd stay home during her holidays but yeah well... if she likes it, why not.

So I wouldn't hold that summer camp against him.

[Strahd]

My cat used to work for Matrox. He was the one in charge of chasing rodents. A thankless job really. Anyway, he was fired because he talked about the Millennium G400 before it came out. Think he said he posted something on an open forum... Not sure

Careful Lord Patrice...

Gurm ... I read his post but I wouldn't say that disproves he works for Matrox. Packing, S/R personnel are many times transient and require a minimal amount of skills. There's no reason why Matrox wouldn't hire high-school kids to perform these functions. It also was never stated what type of camp it was and what his role was: He could be a counselor, or not ... and there are all types of camps for all ages, young and old.

Regardless, I'm more interested in some hard information and some validation of the source of that info. LordPatrice only declared ...

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">... the only G800 I saw was a proto and it was spectacular ...</font>

The rest is opinion. In fact, the description "spectacular" is just an opinion and we don't even know his credentials to compare that observation with what we would feel. The "info" LordPatrice is offering is worthless so its moot whether or not he works at Matrox.

[rylan]

Yeah, seriously.
Some on.. a lot of you are taking the whole NDA thing a bit too seriously. I don't know of a company that would fire an employee for saying that they are working on a next gen product. Saying stuff like 'I've seen one' and 'It rocks' are hardly giving away company secrets.
The lawyers start to get pissed when you post specs about the thing, not just because you said its going to rock the house.

[Gurm]

Rylan,

NO, some of us AREN'T taking it too seriously. If we say the wrong thing, we get our status yanked, and possible legal action.

And "the wrong thing" includes most of what LordPatrice has said, useless though that information is.

Why are most of the "old-timers" here on this list denying the fact that he actually has sent something via email to GinoCyber and both of them are QUIET since? Doesn't that prove something?

BTW, those "old-timers" / "four-digit-posters" are acting the same every time a person that is really likely to be working at M comes up at this forum, making the whole thread ridiculous - remember the nihilist / blue helix posts (and I strongly believe that this guy actually DID work at Matrox).

If one wanted to summarize: most of what those "claiming-to-know-something-specific" posters are basicly saying is quite similar: the next Matrox card won't be a GeForce-killer, but the next-next gen is looking VERY promising.

Indiana - quite ironic isn't the people in here are always desperate for info on what's to come from Matrox and then when someone does appear and gives us a few tasty morsels they get hounded out of here!

Shame on you all

Anyway rumours I hear from certain sources close to Matrox (and no not an employee, or an ex-employee or a beta tester, I have to state that cuz these forums are under close scrutiny by the Matrox secret police) is wait for CeBIT

[impact]

Maybe we need a new private forum where only selected people would be able to discuss those precious matters without the fear of being watched and sued by the Big Brother and his inquisition.

[mdhome]

Hey chaps,
I dont think Matrox's next card needs to be a geforce killer. All i'm looking for is a card that looks like a g400, is priced conveniently (i.e less than $200) and runs 3d much faster. Obviously DX8 compliancy would be a benefit.
If Matrox can give me a card with this spec then I will be as happy as a pig in s**t.

regards MD

[SCompRacer]

Thats right Ant! You go buddy!

Hall 9, Stand B76! Maggi's gonna be there with his cell phone and PalmPilot with a hot link to MURC! Then we can all clog the Matrox server putting our hard earned cash down for the hush card.

And MURC can offer a really big prize, like a 21" monitor, for order number {pick a number} of the hush card. Hell, even a 19" would be swell if the 21" is a bit much for MURC.

What do ya think?
------------------------------------------

Oh yeah, equal rights...
For nVidia, same hall, Stand D41.

[Jorden]

P&P to be paid by the winner, I guess Scompy?

But it would be a good idea, if there's a sponsor around here who's willing to donate such a monitor. And the only sponsors I've seen til this time are Britney & Christina who want me

Jord.

[Ant]

Yeah we need someone who works for say Sony to come up with some cheap goods for us

mdhome I think that TCFKAG will be exactly that according to what I saw posted by a certain ex-M employee, i.e. a beefed up G400 with something much better to follow later in the year. As for DX8 compliancy if the leaked Matrox road map from early last year was correct then TCFKAG was dependent on DX8. Much of this is backed up by snippets of information that have come out via various routes such as comments from the Amiga guy and Carmack of id Software. Guess we'll just have to hang around until the end of the month to find out.

I think if we got something like a g800 to compete in the gf2mx radeonle market, it would be a good way to go. I mean, around the $150 dollar range. and maybe the bad-ass shit for like $225... nothing more than $250 anyways.
