    What are the DVD and HDTV features? I haven't been through the .pdfs yet but I was hoping to see some more about these features. Do we need to wait for the board(s) announcement or is there more info from Matrox that I haven't run across yet? I've seen some info about 10-bit DVD but that's about it. I saw some info posted last night at other sites that I haven't run across yet from the Matrox materials:

    "Dual independent DVI outputs (up to 1920x1200 on each output)" - This is supported. Hence, HDTV is more than sufficiently supported. The card can actually drive 2 HDTV monitors independently.

      Deinterlacing is mentioned too, finally HWMC in a Matrox card. Actually, it almost looks as if it's a 100% hardware solution, might not even need ANY software other than a program to interface with it.
