Should we start a new thread in the crystal ball forum to speculate about the functionality off the missing chip

What is there to speculate about? It's the RSN chipOriginally posted by KeiFront

What, you never heard of socketed GPU's?

Perhaps some "external T&L" device, like it is rumord to be on the upcomming NV30 chip....
But I belive it was a RSN chip....Comment

You're right on both parts, you can choose the err, diameter

What do you mean 'what that is(was)'? I wouldn't think matrox would be hiding anything since this is the period where they are trying to 'convert' ATI and nVidia users, so they would want to show the best card possible in the previews, wouldnt they?

The_King, that chip we're talking about was populated on some of the alpha boards we saw, not on others, and won't be on the retail boards, as confirmed by Haig, Tech Support Manager at Matrox. No one is allowed to comment on what it is/was though, maybe because it might be used in a future version, or maybe there will be Marvel cards again, or... you get it?

az good point, and that would be totaly better than a all-in-wonder...
BTW excuse my newbieness but what is an RSN chip?What was the error? Well its the ID10T error.Comment

RSN is the fabled holy grail
Go check out www.soontm.com in the hoax section to learn much more...

Hehe
Would be THE major selling point for Matrox, but since headcasting was such a failure, they seem unwilling to implement it... would need huge buffers for games like tomb raider anyway, so it might only be used for the 256 MB model...

Oh BTW another Marvel is not going to happen, as it looks, this was just to show what I meant... Just to not get your hopes high

Maybe it's an NVBlur chip to satisfy the former NVidia users

Yes,or perhaps it is an GPUextention......
It had been very nice with a VIVO board.... Just like the ATI Range Theater chip....

About this card: I really hope they will arrange that wire: I saw some retail mainboards and videocards (matrox also) with wires on it. That's ugly.
Now: it's working, but there's a better solution: modify the circuit-board and add that forgotten lead.<a href="http://www.16bitz.com">

Think about that you just wrote - if it's a BUILT IN self test, then the testing circuitry would be BUILT IN to the Parhelia core, would it not? Not external to the core!Originally posted by TDB
maybe some sort of bist-chip(built in self test), or perhaps something that might be used in the rt3000 version of the parhelia.Comment
