This headcasting thing was the same thing the guy at Chicks hardware said , so i strongly believe what that this preview is fake ..

and i'm sure he wasn't under NDA if you ask me ..

( sorry if there's a double post , seems it f*cked on me )

**Illusion[Spirit]** · 18 June 2001, 13:27

Oooooooh! its gone! (the link to the G550 page.....it was there, honest!

Now I am slightly excited! Maybe it was an error, that was rapidly corrected!

(oh and I meant that I was being frivolous in my post--not Pede. sorry for the ambiguity)

Hmm. So they definitely monitor these forums! Maybe they get their ideas for future products from these forums...?

**Illusion[Spirit]** · 18 June 2001, 13:38

And just to clarify what was there (for those people who arrived late ), open these 2 pages:

http://www.matrox.com/mga/products/home.cfm

http://www.matrox.com/mga/media_cent...c_millg450.cfm

You'll notice that the first has a banner on the right, linking to Matrox awards.

The second has no banner, BUT there used to be a blank picture there (red X) of the same size, linking this page:

http://www.matrox.com/mga/archive_st...84&pageref=517

....as Pede pointed out.

If we're right, I bet that banner reappears tomorrow

... and as Jim pointed at, the bottom right of the page now has the "revealing" link to http://www.matrox.com/mga/media/comm...rent_pixel.gif .

Price isn't too bad on it either....did a converison on the price given in Kroner and it equals out to ~$160 USD.

$160 ... yep, that's what Pede said above.

**Pede** · 18 June 2001, 14:46

Did I really say I knew this guy who wrote the preview?

If he is really under NDA why has he posted this information now? As far as I understand he's not allowed to say anything about the G550 before Matrox announces it - or am I wrong here?

By the way - the author of the preview is on vacation so another guy at the site has posted the article for him. Mayby this other guy screwed up bigtime and posted the preview a day too early?

Look what I've found!

I was just surfing around at the Matrox web, and on this page I found something interresting:

http://www.matrox.com/mga/media_cent...c_millg450.cfm

Now click on the image which doesn't load. The page it refers to however doesn't exist, but the URL is kinda interresting...

http://www.matrox.com/mga/archive_st...84&pageref=517

Get it? (g550_feature.cfm)

The location of the image (which doesn't load) is quite interessting too...

http://www.matrox.com/mga/media/int_...o_millg550.gif

There it is again - (intro_millg550.gif)

So I guess the M people are getting ready to announce the G550, huh?

Cool !!

Very good job, thank you. I do have hope now.

Try this:

http://www.matrox.com/mga/archive_st...eased_tomorrow

:P

Sorry, Im being frivolous, but the mystery picture in the first page is kinda interesting. But are you sure this aint a hoax, cos this would seem like a notice error for a company sooooooo secretive about their products...

Illusion[Spirit]: If they indeed launch their card tomorrow, this could be an error during preparation for the site update that's due tomorrow. Simply take it as a good sign

(maybe chick was right...)
