(Back ... second Enterprise was a rerun)
Sebastian gives a little more insight into their goals. Sample quote:The Parhelia-512 will become the basis for a whole slew of products in the future. We’ll be offering different versions of the chip and boards to cater to different markets, however, we won’t be radically changing this architecture in six months.<TABLE BGCOLOR=Red><TR><TD><Font-weight="+1"><font COLOR=Black>The world just changed, Sep. 11, 2001</font></Font-weight></TR></TD></TABLE>

Secondly, we aren’t interested in getting 250 fps in Quake. The optimizations in Parhelia-512 are for quality, performance and features in exactly that order.Matrox also has a loyal fan base.We took oscilloscopes in house to measure things like over and under shoot, PLL jitter, frequency response and the proof is in the pudding. The Parhelia-512 offers the best signal integrity and our results prove that. The components we used on the Parhelia-512 are the best quality parts on any graphics chip today.no matrox, no matroxusers.

That comment about component quality was a nice little dig at NVIDIA. They've had quite a problem with gfx card companies using their chipsets with sub-par supporting components

That seems to be one of the hazards that comes with only producing the chips, and not the boards. This is just one more area where Matrox shows their good business sense, imo.
ATIs Radeon8500 boards unfortunately have a bit worse signal quality than the old Radeon had. Hercules' R8500 based boards, however, have much better signal-quality, that is near the G550.
