Published by: MatroxUsers. Posted By DataOrb
Matrox, my favorite (and many otheres) Grahpics Sub-Systems (sound more l33t then just "video boards" :) maker have Unofficaly "LEAKED" -wink- -wink- G800 Specs and ETA.

Hmm... Of course... they can also call December 2000 "Summer" (Depends on what of the globe you are.. :)
I hope that matrox will finally pull both a "Quality" and "fps" card... all let to be seen.. :)

power supply or the minaboard chipsets that cuases systems to hang..

The company said it believes the trouble lies in the motherboard or in the power supply, but has not determined which, or whether, either component is at fault. Gateway hopes to find and resolve the problem in time for shipments to resume by July 10, the spokesman said. "

Chris has posted a review of the Soltek 75KV motherboard.
"This motherboard is a KT133-based Socket-A board with 6 PCI, 1 ISA, 1 AGP, and 3 DIMMs. It has FSB frequencies up to 150 MHz, with settings of 100, 103, 105, 110, 112, and 115 MHz at the low-end of the spectrum. The board seems to have remained stable at 110 MHz and below."
