    We won't get a new GXXXx MAX....

    I asked a quation to Haig, and got this answer:

    < Will the topmodel me called "MAX" or will Matrox introduce a new name for the topmodel?

    < No name has been finalized yet but I don't think MAX will be part of it.
    that's really a shame
    Max sounds so cool
    a least alot better than Ti wich nVidia uses

    But then again if they keep the Parhelia name, IMO Parhelia Pro sounds better than Parhelia Max.

      Who in the world would be able to remember a name like Parhelia? AKA the Matrox... uh... duh... well, you know, the new fast card
      Parhelia might be the name for the new chip, but I think the card itself will have a different name. I hope they don't go for something lame such as "Matrox Millennium XP"...

        I couldn't care less.
        They could call it the "Matrox Jackass" (or even GOAT ) as long as it's fast, feature-filled and has good quality output.
        But we named the *dog* Indiana...

          it would be ubercool if they called it Ralph, that name is so weird, that everyone will renember it.
          This sig is a shameless atempt to make my post look bigger.

              My vote still goes for Rudolph!
              According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless...

                The Matrox Jackass! Me likey!

                They could even call it "The Matrox I'll beat you down with a Stick cause I'm so fast bitch!" card. (Matrox IBYDWASCISFB) I'd still get one.
                (I obviously don't care about the name. )

                Now here's an example of that below:
                (that and a MURCer with a lot of time on his hands)

                Matrox Jackass (Jubilantly Aggressive Card Knight Aluminizing Super Speed)

                Matrox GOAT (Graphically Optimized Adapter Tantilizer)

                Matrox Ralph (Radical Adapter Leader in Performance Hyperization)

                Matrox Darth (Damn Adapter is Really Turbolisticly Hardcore)

                Matrox Rudolph (Really Unrealistically Dominatingly Orgasmic Leader in Performance Hypertasticness)
                Titanium is the new bling!

                          opposing the Geforce...
