小弟是英文痴~~~無法釋翻~~~^^ It𠏋 always interesting to see how rumors get started and spread like wildfire; it𠏋 even more interesting to see it happen when you know for certain what𠏋 being spread isn㦙 true.?Such was the case with the rumors that surrounded Matrox𠏋 忛ext-generation?graphics part.?It wasn㦙 long after the release of the Matrox G400 that rumors of a G600 and a G800 began surfacing; although most had no factual basis at all.?As the story goes with most rumors, the misinformation compounded until even Matrox was worried that when the truth was revealed there would be a backlash from the community for not producing a product that never made it to production. It isn㦙 entirely unusual for a manufacturer to produce a product that doesn㦙 make it to mass production, so there𠏋 no doubt in our minds that there ever was a basis for a G800 just like there once was a socketed Pentium II processor floating around Intel (and a very big one at that) and ATI𠏋 labs have definitely housed some unique creations.? During Comdex of last year we learned of the slight possibility that Matrox would be producing a mid-range gaming card.?Plans for that were eventually scrapped and instead what Matrox focused their attentions on was an updated version of the G450.?Considering that the G450 was an updated version of the G400, we feared that Matrox𠏋 backlash would come not because they couldn㦙 deliver on a rumor but because their 忛ext-generation?part was based on the two-year-old G400.? Matrox𠏋 G550 Matrox has had a way of creating markets for their products that didn㦙 exist before.?They were the first to truly promote and show the world what Environment Mapped Bump Mapping (EMBM) could offer.?How could we ever forget that one Expendable screen shot that made almost everyone want a G400 for the sole purpose of having bumpy water??Then they convinced the world that dual monitors wasn㦙 just for the high-end anymore, it could be used in games, internet browsing and document editing among the usual array of applications.? Both EMBM and DualHead have managed to become check-box features that competing vendors have also implemented because of user demand.?It would seem as if Matrox has had a handful of relative successes in creating markets for their features. Matrox𠏋 latest foray into the graphics market attempts to build on their successes of the past and create yet another market with the G550.?Although they𠐔e always said that the third time is a charm, it looks like that may not be the case for Matrox. 600 http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=1492
