  • The chip on the beta boards

    From http://www.pcpop.com.cn/readnews.asp?id=6984 .

    I think I'd call all tri-headed cards "Hirokians", since... Hiroki Sawada definitively Tri-head!

    So we have...
    Matrox Parhelia <em>Hirokia</em> and
    Matrox Millenium P750 <em>Hirokia</em>!

    (But when can I REALLY have either of them? That's the question...)

    Hmm, looking at the pics of those ram chips, and have a search at the samsung site, gives these results. 300Mhz chips = 600mhz ddr. 3.3ns ram then. On the alpha cards.
    When I was still a kid, my parents got me a Packard Bell. I've never been happier. Now it's degraded to a foot support.

      God I love how those memory chips are arranged in a "parhelic circle" around the GPU

            I trust they'll be putting on a slightly lower profile heatsink on the production items

              I personally wouldn't mind the best cooler too much as it'll help it OC better...

                Hell,

                Leave the big cooler on it. It will make it stand out in our cases and look nice.

                Why pay $400 US for a graphics card if all it is going to do is look boring and ordinary inside your case

                  Heh. Anodize the cooler with a color glows in a blacklight, and make the fan out of glow-in-the-dark plastic. Then supply a free case-window mod kit for every buyer.

                  System specs:
                  Gainward Ti4600
                  AMD Athlon XP2100+ (o.c. to 1845MHz)

                    You won't need that, the chip puts out so much heat the HSF will glow anyway.

                        Hehe. Sounds like my kinda card. Now I'm sure I need to check out that cooling chip Greebe linked here:

                          One question: Why are all cards engineered to have the chip on the side facing pci slots? Would it not be much better to have it to the other side, for easier cooling?

                            That isn't allowed in the AGP spec. Dual CPU mobos may not offer enough room for the card's HSF.
                            I should have bought an ATI.

                              They should do that when AGP 2.0 comes out
