Yes , that's pretty much acurate . They are trying to make more money by using the same price number but in a different currency . Just like in UK .

The high end part WILL retail @ 399$ in USA and 400 Euros in Europe .

I don't think it will happen that easy ... If SiS ... err... I mean XGI succeeds to bring a solution worth to be take into consideration then the other players will consider it too . As XGI's cards are the only present , real example of a multiGPU card I'm going to start off about them ...

Really ?! Hmmmm .... If you say so .... let's not get too excited for nothing ... ;)

Ahaaaa .... MBX ... could you be talking about XBM or ... XBA which comes from BitBoys's initial concept of XtremeBandwidthArchitecture ? That would make some sense : MBX or XBM -> Xtreme Bandwidth Memory and would be probably the only suited method to deliver such gret performance in a...

This makes it clear that now R420 or NV40 future version will ever get to use 512 Bit memory BUS . We'll have to wait until 2006 for that .

The fact that there is still memory outside the chip packge shows that this is still an early development card .

The Micron symbol exposes the fact that there is memory present in that chip . The mobile ATi chips already have integrated memory on them . This represents a newer design with DDR-II memory on it or better GDDR3 that it's said to be developed by Micron . So , Micron embeded memory =...

Yes ... I had great hope for the entry of 3DLabs into the gaming market under the guidance of Creative but it seems that's over and done now .

1)nVIDIA created a very special architecture and they thought everyone will accept is as easy as JC did and program especialy for it using their CG language . The thing is that ATi's DX9 architecture was chosen as the sample of initial DX9 hardware guidlines and it suited that much better ...

Because we really need a third competitor to bring prices back in the 299$ range @ product launch and 129$ in mainstream/performance . XGI is probably doing some serious business there . SIS invested a lot of money . They bothered to create a new company . They seem serious as they've...

But they are continuing on that technological view ? Or they'll be going back to the Wild Cat III style ?

Here's a simple quiestion : If JC called the GF4 MX the greatest lie in the IT marketing history , why is ATi trying so hard to catch up ? First there was the 9000 a tad slower than the 8500 , then there was the 9600 a tad slower than the 9500 Pro and now this .... Could they at least use...

But what was that piece of new on the INQ about MS selling more of it's consoles next year because of the GameCube cancelation ?

Hey ... I leave for just one week in the mountains with no internet on my mind and then the whole world changes ... What's up with this ? Why cancel it ? What will be the implications ? Are they going to fade away just like other console manufacturers did ? What about the software...
