• Matrox Parhelia-512 Preview @ HardwareZone

  Published: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 | By: Dennis

  I used to be very loyal to Matrox in the days before AGP was a mainstream video solution. My love of Matrox turned with the release of the G200 with its sub-par gaming performance and lack of tweakable features. I have a feeling that this might all change can you say triple-head gaming?? I knew you could.

  Also proof that ZDnet only reads their news.
  "Although the two companies' chips are often close in terms of performance, Intel's run at faster speeds when measured in megahertz. The new 1.8GHz Celeron is faster than AMD's top Athlon chip, the Athlon XP 2100+, which runs at 1.73GHz."

  Raise your hand if you have at least one dusty old computer stored away in your house or garage. I think the numbers might surprise you.

  "since the men legally possessed the software they had the right to modify it."
  I think they might be up a creek without a paddle.
