Heh, I thought that Ben shouldn't have posted those comments quite yet because nothing has been announced. You would think that a comment in a flamefest on ANN would not get picked up, but it did!
Yeah...That was the first thing I thought when Ben made the comment on Ann, but I figured it would blow past and any forthcoming announcements would be made without someone bringing attention to it. Hope this don't cause him any problems or setbacks, as everyone seems to be quoting him on their web sites.
I don't know how much (if any or all) of the "hoax" specs are accurate, but if Matrox have a card that is comparable to or better than a top of the line GeForce, then I'll be happy. And you know, Ben is right. A couple of years ago 3Dfx was "King of the Hill". Games were constantly geared towards their hardware. Now nobody even recognizes 3Dfx (as they were bought out by nVidia) Matrox or ATI could very well come up with "The Next Big Thing"(tm).
