    Eeeeh, I think this should be posted in general hardware...
    ... or has matrox started to produce ATI boards?

    Interesting pictures though.

            Smoothvision II? Would this basically be Smoothvision I, but working?

              The R200 could already do 6xFSAA, it looked great, but it was unplayable for the most games if you used higher resolutions than 640x480, even with the "performance" setting.
              I am wondering if they have improved Smoothvision, ATIs FSAA has always been behind nVidias performance wise, ATI offered better quality though.
              Specs:
              MSI 745 Ultra :: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ :: 1024 MB PC-266 DDR-RAM :: HIS Radeon 9700 (Catalyst 3.1) :: Creative Soundblaster Live! 1024 :: Pioneer DVD-106S :: Western Digital WD800BB :: IBM IC35L040AVVN07

                Isn't anybody going to bitch about the size of the fan? Oh, wait, it's not a Parhelia, so that's okay.

                  shoot that thing is HUGE... I'd bet it's double the size of the HS/fan setup that a Parhelia needs

                    LOL maybe because its running at a clock speed quicker then the Parhelia?
                    Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

                      Overall I don't understand why they keep putting small, just about adequate fans on cards. If you put a large fan, the chip runs cooler, less people will damage their cards by trying to exchange the fan into something more exotic, and a larger fan is more silent as well. The cost can't be that much bigger, can it?

                            Yep,it's got to fit in the slot. Also, bigger fans would require pulling more power from the socket.

                              By those comments you guys think that Matrox builds their cards to provide and much cooling as possible when OCing?

                              Polease!
