      E3 would be a good place to plug a new card, but only if the cards are available soon after, ie within a couple of weeks after.

      They'll have to get the cards out shortly after the announcement, so they are trailing the announcement.

            Given this information is correct and assuming Matrox keeps to the habit to presented its chips on a Tuesday we can look forward to the presentation on:

              You'll know when the print media gets the word... when a plethora of nVidiots start committing suicide online, ie it hasn't happened yet.

              Yes I know when it's suppose to happen, give it a little more time


              Just a thought: Anyone up for a kegger this weekend?

                          A media contact of mine has apparently got wind of what's going on.

                          Poor gender deleted was stuttering all over the place and repeating: "they've GOT to be kidding, right? Right? 'cmon....TELL ME MORE!! p-p-p-please??" (while sounding like Roger Rabbit)

                          I usually hate NDA's at a time like this, but if you're even mildly into into torture keeping to them can be VERY entertaining
