Sorry, but it's true matrox's website does not updates about the announcement of new products on time.

The press release (which is what was posted) is often circulated first and the web team sets a particular time (in this case 10:00am EST) when the product launches on the site. This is standard and has nothing to do with a "slow reaction time".

All the AGP 4X/8X cards has two "notch" on the AGP connector, while the 2X/1X has only one... however, the pics have 2 notches... weird

In my mind, 2 notches indicates the card is capable of install into both (1x)2x/4x slots. For 2x or 4x only cards there is only 1 notch.

what you're looking at is not necessarily the final rev.

I doubt why Shop Matrox does not ship graphic cards worldwide?

**GNEP** · 23 April 2003, 07:34

This looks like a nice, no-nonsense release of a boring (

) no-nonsense card. Well done Soupy

They sell everything from M, everywhere for over five years now.

Wow, it seems that Matrox could survive and get some money with those cards and after some time they could bring us Parhelia II.

Btw, this was my 100th post, so I finally became a real Murcer!

**drslump** · 23 April 2003, 08:05

Parhelia was named so because it could run 3 screens at a time. Like the 3 suns of a natural parhelia effect.

then the P650 shouldn't really be a G650

**ganyaik** · 23 April 2003, 08:06

Well done Matrox! I just can't wait 'till they get to the shops here. If they can do some gaming at an acceptable level, then I gotta have one.
BTW, how come that the GPU is 256bit? Isn't the original Parhelia an 512bit GPU?

Is this LX based on a newer core? What do you think?
