Your last Matrox hardware?

[Greebe]

Who said the BBz have lost faith in Matrox, Parhelia or the like???

and we're still beta testing P... shoot to a lesser extent we're still beta testing all the G series cards also

3dfx - remember that (AFAIK) the BBz here beta test the drivers not the boards.

[3dfx]

Oh ok, well I can assume since you test newer drivers and these dont fix the problem then we are stuck with it then and even if there were a fix then it's going to be AGES! before we get anthing from Matrox Oh DANG!

Bwahahahahahahahaa, just too funny

Officially we are only driver testers, in reality we do find far far more than just that and do report our findings so the issues can be addressed.

Bloody NDA's sure get in the way of saying what tho (and it's a very good thing we have found all that we have

[GNEP]

Well of course you are extra combos of hardware Greebe...

And I can't imagine that drivers only start getting written the day a new card is available for sale...

[Byock]

ok, then I have a question for Greebe. Based on what you know, (I know you can't say), Would you honestly recommend a P for a friend, if he asked you if he should buy one?

Assume he is a gamer, but not a PFS freak.

I voted for #3, but my thought was more like "I didn't buy the Parhelia, although I'm considering it or further products IF Matrox Graphics is still around in the future."

I voted for "3" but the real answer would've been:
"I seriously looked into buying a Parhelia, but the terrible 2x max anisotropic filtering limitation prevented me from it together with the uneven price/performance ratio. And looking at those flickering and TVOut issues I'm glad that I did not buy one. I still will consider future M products, if they're competitive, of course."

Byock: whats a PFS Freak? Permanently Full of Sh...?
