It`s the drivers and hardware working allright or have you fond bugs that will delay the anouncement on the new card?

my first born

OK, maybe not my first born, but definitely my neighbor's first born child for a Parhelia
I'll even throw in my Millenium 2MB I still have in a working machine... nah, just the kid

Nothing's obvious when it comes to Haig. He doesn't lie, but he loves to tease you guys.

[Umfriend]

No way this means the G450MMS and drivers are working fine?

That he's a moron?

Greebe, I'm just wondering whether anything Haig does so, pertains to things Matrox has already announced, like the G450MMS being real expensive, the card+drivers working OK, and it having been shown off to some ppl, but still under NDA.

In my mind, all these 'hints' that seem to actually mean something, might just pertain to G450MMS (or even trickier, to G450MMS as well.

added this:
And that I'm a moron too

[Greebe]

Well it has been said repeatedly that he is most certainly NOT talking about anything other than Parhelia.

Why do you still doubt it?

[Umfriend]

Did he actually say so?

I do believe a lot of his teasing is related to Parhelia, but I would not put it past him to tease some more with "real" information, but then actually pertaining to, say, the G450MMS.

Maybe I am just a bit cynical....(or a moron, might pop up with a new userid soon (tm))

Umf

[Joel]

might pop up with a new userid soon (tm))

I expect that to happen alot around here, soon, as some ppl try to avoid eating their hats and taking it like a man.

[Greebe]

Actually Haig did say he wasn't refering to the G450MMS... besides we know that's not a gamers card.

Honey mustard dipping sauce should go well with that Hat

[K6-III]

If it hadn't been for these rumors a Radeon 8500 would have already taken my KyroII's place...

[Umfriend]

Greebe, I ain't gonna eat no hat, I am not an unbeliever. It's just that I have not found a post by Haig saying what u say it does. I can't read between line very well, that might be it, or:

Joel: not to avoid Hat-au-Vin, just to acknowledge my intellactual capabilites (would I change my userid to moron, as per Rags suggestion/conclusion).

No hat, just errrm, whatsitcalled in english?

Umf

[Greebe]

Parhelia!

Umf, your userid is fine as is your healthy scepticism. If Parhelia is as impressive as some seem to suggest then many Murc members (myself included) will also be eating hat.
