Actually you guys are missing a big thing, the Parhelia was priced as a professional card. As it stands it's certified for quite a few professional apps, and to get a card that is certified for those, generally can cost you twice if not three times the price of the Parhelia. So all in all, for Professional 3D workers, it's quite the great card. Now if only they could get a killer Linux driver for it, then I'm sure Matrox could very well try to make a deal with ILM or Pixar or any of the other big names in the Video Grafx Industry. I've seen the Making of Episodes 1 and 2 of star wars and almost all of the ILM programmers have at least 2 monitors. And they have switched mostly over to linux. So hurry up Matrox!

However, they don't perform like pro boards... especially when we compare P with the Quadro 4 XGL mid-range cards. I would rather get a 3DLabs mid-range VP for DCC.
