Personally I prefer http://www.anandtech.com but yeah this is really exciting stuff... once I go triple, looks like Matrox will be my card. We'll see, that new 3D Labs card looks pretty spectacular as well... and then there is the newer baby brother Geforce4 4200.

normally i dislike Toms, but it was just the facts and he did not get much chance to show his usual bias (he didnt do any "benchmarks") :smile:

the reason i mentioned it was that it was the fastest one i could find with info.

Great! I saw one of these while skiing last year.
Now I know what it's called :smile:

Weird thing like a full circle rainbow with four 'corners'. You have to hold your hand out to block the sun. After staring mesmerised at it for a good ten minutes I turned around to see several dozen people just standing in the snow with their hands in the air.
Would've been as good a pic as the parhelia itself. :smile:

Anyway about that graphics card...

(Edit: Hmm, couldn't get Tom's picture to display so I'll try another one)
