Matrox P650-PCIE-128

[Unicron]

Hi everyone ive noticed that you can now buy the P650 PCIe from the Matrox Shop, I want to get one but I dont have a PCIe enabled machine yet, has anyone actually ordered one yet?

Also what is the main differences between P650 PCIe 128 and the Parhelia APVe apart from the price?

Cheers

P650 PCIe is for DualHead only.

Parhelia APVe will support the following monitor configurations:
- Dual-display plus HDTV output
- Dual-DVI plus TV output
- Dual-display plus TV output
- TripleHead Desktop Mode

What about in terms of speed, compared to the P8X?

is it any faster?

Since there are 3 PCIe cards (QID, P650 and Parhalie APVe) that came out together and QID and P650 use same GPU I'd assume Parhelia APVe also uses same GPU but might be clocked higher. This GPU is 256-bit with 128-bit memory controller but we don't know how manny pipes and what clock does it have.
