      Why are you so bothered with passive cooling? I think the current black heatsink and fan looks really cool! (not sure if pun intended )

        How much of a performance boost would the 128mb version give over the 64mb that will be coming out later?

          as you can see from my sig i hate noise especially the high pitched whiny noise of small fans (like the one on the parhelia).
          no matrox, no matroxusers.

              I guess thop is like me in one sense.
              The next PC I'm building, the one for Parhelia, is going to be a silent PC. So eliminating as much fan noise as possible is a biggie. Even if the Parhelia can't run with passive cooling stock. The fact that Haig said that it is very possible to replace the stock HSF is a big plus.
              The HSF market is very active, so I'm confident I'll be able to have a very quiet if not silent Parhelia board.

                  I have to second Kurzin's statements about the quality of the displays and the ICD. The ICD does still need tweaking as he said, but it's a lot faster than previous ones and provides more than enough gaming performance. The image quality is stunning, especially with FAA-16 turned on.

                  For video editing Parhelia is now the standard others will be judged by. You can't imagine how nice it is to edit across 3 displays in single-frame resolution when you need it.

                          Oh man.... it's a real pity that the card is expensive. $399 US is like $600 CDN, and so I will have to live with my GF4 Ti4200. The 2D quality on the GF4 Ti4200 is definitely not up to par with my previous ATI Radeon which was a step down from my beloved G400.

                                Personally I don't know how M would improve 2D beyond this, but then again they've always been able to pull one out of their hat
