"Regarding our 8500 MAXX Info - Tuesday, July 9 | Solomon
It seems some are skeptical to what we posted and you know what that is fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But I will stick by the info I posted in regards to the 8500 MAXX. The source? Sure I'll just put his real address here so he can get fired from his job. No problem right? It's not some Hot mail address like some loser seems to think.
Or better yet, How about I email a PR person LOL! and ask if a future product is being developed! Do you honestly believe that company A will just flat out tell ya, "Yeah we are working on this so and so video card". Hahaha.
Call it what you will, I have never posted BS rumors to cause a stir. I trust my friend. Yes folks I've known my source for about a year now, so this isn't some fricken Hotmail we just receive out of the blue. You either take this whole thing with a grain of salt or not. But for the people who know me, I have never bull shitted just to cause a stir. "
And yet for all that, 8500 MAXX still makes no sense; in light of upcoming R300 I see no point in that card. To draw a historical parallel, it would be an equivalent of 3dfx releasing an Obsidian X24-stile twin Voodoo2 card alongside Voodoo3.
i believe its fake , the only way it would be real is if they are planing a dual chip for the r300 and they are testing drivers and the agp bridge using the current r200s to get the kinks out .
