Well, if they are really pulling out of the 3d market, they would be damn fools not to sell off the designs, tech, and brand name (probably the most valuable asset) to a 3rd party. Gotta retrieve some sort of value for the owners this way...

NVidia or ATI in-house cards with a premium price?
I know that Matrox is working with Parhelia 2. and some sources indicate it *could* be much closer than it's generally thought to be, but i can't be sure because I have been unable to do "blind cross check" for this one, so take it as grain of salt.
In any case, I am going to buy Parhelia soon. VERY Soon
Well some have mentioned thats it's been fixed in the next revision. I missed out of the orginal post. If it isn't fixed and is normal behavour that Matrox no longer have good IQ.

No offence, but all this vapourware and people convinced they are telling the truth... it's starting to get a bit boring.
Why not simply admit we don't know shit about Matrox? I'm "starting" to believe some people are only making stories up or starting rumours to provoke some kind of "(un)official" answer from Haig or others from inside the organization.
What do we want? To be updated on hardware and drivers?
Should we keep on bashing, or is there some other constructive way to satisfy both sides? Maybe some constructive words from the inside perhaps? It has been a long time I remember someone from Matrox said interesting stuff over here...

Well, just my 2 cts
You're basically right when you mean The Public as "We".
Most of the stuff you can read is public knowledge. Only you get to read it first here.
As far as vaporware is concerned, you get to read it here first as well - and you have ppl who _know_ lurking around MURC giving hints now and then...
- Getting an official answer on the banding issue that degrades the quality of this expensive card, that was bought with the faith I had in Matrox regarding image quality.
- Getting more in-between beta drivers as they come, as some of us really like to twitch and tweak around the system, and really state that the use of such drivers is for your own risk. I remember the days that drivers came out whenever one issue was solved, now you have to wait until a whole list has been fixed.
Bugger it, must have been dreaming when I saw the post saying the banding had been fixed in the later revisions. Can't find it now anyway and I'm sure it was a post by someone whos been posting for a bit. Must have been the booze I was drinking.

Peter, they're not going to give an official answer. Matrox's official policy is that the people with problems are ignorable, and that the issue will go away entirely. The work on a fix for current Parhelias was halted.
