funny stuff, but you should have posted it into the Soap Box Forum instead ...

Yup.
This has nothing to do with gaming.

I'm sick of G800/550 speculation so ...

How about I make up some of my own ?
(thats a rhetorical question obv., im going to anyway)

1) Back in the days of yore Matrox released a Power VR1 add-in board, the M3D.
2) Guillemot/Hercules and STM ink a deal to release a KyroII board (and develop future "stuff"), which previews show finally exploits the benefits of tile based renedering.
3) A cryptic "Matrox havent given up on gamers" surfaces from CeBIT 2001.
4) They finally get sick of trying to keep up with the behemoth(s) on the 3d front and drop a KryoII chip into a G4xx board, or make an add in card . Thereby producing an exceptional all around setup : Image quality, dualhead, dvd max and tile based rendering.
(Oh god please!!!)


*Please note : this is pure navel-gazing/optimism on my part. Any reply that points out the "holes" in this swiss-cheese theory will not be replied to.*

Where do I sign up ?

It would be the perfect solution for a lot of users, no need to change that G400/450 or even a G200, just pop in the newest 3D add-on.

Maybe that's what the Fusion part is all about *hoping*
