3D Tables: G400 fillrates?

I couldn't find the thread where you ask for corrections to the dual table, so here goes. I'm not sure if this got corrected there, but it's incorrect in the Table (View By Board).

Matrox G400 boards have a fillrate of 250/250, not 500/500.

Matrox G400MAX boards have a fillrate of 300/300, not 600/600.

(They are based on the Toucan which has just two single-texturing pixel pipelines, clocked 125 or 150 (the MAX) MHz. However, they were very well designed for 32-bit color, and indeed they rocked in 32-bit. Used to own one... *sigh*)

Also, the memory bandwidths look doubly two big. AFAIK, G400 boards never featured DDR, just SDR SDRAM/SGRAM on a 128-bit bus, clocked 160 or 200 (the MAX) MHz. (IIRC, the G450 had DDR on a 64-bit bus and was a slight step back, actually --except for board costs).
 
A few months ago i noticed that the NV40 table misses its die size (Or else the NV40 die is really small).

FWIW, the differents sources found on the intraweb says its size is between 270 - 305 mm2.

Correct. Although I don't remember the clock speeds.
