Guru and others:
I know that those who know can't say anything and everyone else knows nothing, THAT was my entire point.
I am just sick of being told to wait by people who know nothing and people who can't speak. There is no proof that matrox will ever re-enter the 3d performace market, apart from a few fleeting matrox interviews which I currently refuse to believe
Give me proof when you tell me (or other people) to wait and I won't be so cross
Now about it just being a video card: Yes, it is just a video card, but if it was as unimportant as you are making out, then why on earth have these forums and why bother debating me. Video cards (along with monitors) are the most important pieces of the computer.
OmegaRED, It is not like I intend to get overly worked up about it in my daily life, but it is important to me and many others that there is:
1) lots of competition in the video card market
2) Matrox still exists to set the standard for 2d quality
Now, about the needs of general computer users, Gum. Most low-end computers use onboard video, which is fast and good enough for what most people do. If matrox doesn't pull its head out of its butt, it will have its dinner eaten by onboard video.
Now, what really works me up is that matrox would have been able to easily create a fairly decent 3d card (say G600) by using a 128bit ddr bus in the G550. They could have marketed the G550 and the G600 (say) with the G550 being the cheaper buisness solution and the G600 being the high end buisness solution. They could have developed and released this higher end card in the time they wasted developing headcasting.
And, Guru, you sound like a script kiddie when you use call the geforce a GayFart and nVIDIA nVidiot. You can debate the various pro's and con's of video cards without such obvious bias. BTW, how is a matrox card any easier than any other card to set up. I have found Matrox cards, SiS onboard video, Nvidia cards (geforce, tnt, riva 128), Intel i740, s3 cards (Trio3d, virge, trio) all just as easy to setup. They all have problems from time to time, but they are ussually easy to fix.
