    So it is a SMP sort of thing, aah? Well... then Matrox should figure out how to enable us using ATi/Nvidia cards for 3D acceleration.

        So that at least the center screen of the triple-head gaming setup will have decent 3D performance?

          Yeah, but we've seen from your past posts that you talk a lot without knowing "how things work."

          The banding effect was bad RAMDAC design. They somehow magically kept their shaders while killing off the banding in the 8x rev.

            Uuuuh, that was low.

            Somehow? Magically? And those words are coming from someone who knows how things work?

            I know it had something to do with RAMDACs, but it was occurring only in 3D applications, was it?

            Anyway, that wasn't my point. I believe you would understand why I decried Matrox's 3D acceleration, only if you try hard enough.

              Something like that.

              O.K. give me a brake, I was just kidding. And I wasn't referring to "the" SLI, rather to a something more like "G200 + Voodoo" combo. Maybe it would be possible through a VIP connector, which they neglected for some reason, or something like that.

              Anyway... forget it.

                LOL! Was a time some said "the SLI" was not "the" SLI as "the SLI" was the Millenium+Voodoo combo....

                  LOL! I didn't realize I reinvented "the" wheel.
