    What on earth could Matrox say to get us to shut up, really?

    They could just say something to keep us quite

              No, for every head that explodes, Parhelia Pro256 will grow two new ones. So we're currently at DualHead

                    No, it doesn´t. It just says the event will occur.

                                Considering both Doom 3 and the Parhelia are both unoptimized (as niether has been released), 60 fps at any res in Doom 3 would be pretty good If only it were true...
