I have to wonder how many people they still have working in the graphics department. If this is the best they could come up with in this many years....

Great another card based on ages-old technology
I doubt any company will spend $150-200 on such a card when you can get a $50 card that will do the same... or better.

I wonder what this "new 90nm chip design" is based on... Old Parhelia tech or... real new design ???

Matrox Graphics announces Millennium P690 Series fanless graphics cards
New series offers reliable, ultra-low power graphics solution with wide enterprise flexibility.

Montreal, Canada, October 16th, 2007 — Matrox Graphics Inc., the leading manufacturer of professional graphics solutions, today announced the availability of its Millennium P690 Series fanless graphics cards. These cards are available in several form factors, offer low power consumption, and unified display drivers for easy deployment across multiple systems. In addition, the P690 Plus LP PCI/PCIe products can be upgraded (via a Quad-HD15 cable) to drive four analog monitors—and up to eight analog or four digital monitors in a joined-graphics card configuration.

"The P690 Series is a redesign of the popular P650 Series graphics cards, combining new 90nm chip design and DDR2 memory technology with our rock-solid unified drivers," states Alan Vandenbussche, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Matrox Graphics. "As a result, the P690 Series is an ideal choice for professionals looking for low power consumption and a long production life, without the risk of unproven drivers."
