Anyone looking to buy a Parhelia now should look at the 256mb refurb Parhelia for $369 at Newegg.

Speaking of the 256MB versions, I read somewhere that the memories are rated at 3.6ns, while the 128MB bulk is 3.3.

Given how the Parhelia benefits from OC'ing the ram and how well the ram OC's anyhow not such a big deal...Let us return to the moon, to stay!!!Comment

Actually from what it says on Matrox's site, the Retail 128mb card has a higher clock than the 256mb one. Why did they do this? The OEM 128mb and 256mb ones are clocked the same (core/memory) I always found that kind of odd.
LeechWah! Wah!

Lower clock for higher yeilds...
I'm pretty sure it'd OC beyond retail 128mb levels anyway...Let us return to the moon, to stay!!!Comment

Why is that? There's no reason to believe that Matrox has exhausted the first batch.Originally posted by K6-III

I'm pretty sure it'd OC beyond retail 128mb levels anyway...Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment

I implied that more chips would be guaranteed to hit 200mhz reliably.
Seeing as it is the first batch, just about all of them can hit about 230mhz for the core, so you could expect the same from the 256mb version...Let us return to the moon, to stay!!!Comment

I think I (along with everyone else) wouldn't mind if we could have everything the Parhelia has, with a 350mhz core. I need more heat in my room anyhow ;-)
