Well yeah, that was to be very expected. No one in their right mind thought Intel's first foray into discrete graphics was going to be a game changer nor even compete in the mid/value ranges. I'm certainly not buying any dysfunctional products for the record, but I'll definitely watch from the sidelines to see how many generations it takes to really get in there. They have at least 2 of them planned and in the works already

>Intel's first foray

this isn't their first Rodeo with an attempt at discrete graphics.

i740 AGP says hello.

I had one of those in the computer I bought for post secondary school before in 1997 or 98. The card didn't even support basic display properly. Had to use my roommates comp as a guide when I had to reinstall windows 95 so I could figure out the keyboard presses to install it blind. Sad thing was it was paired with dual voodoo 2 (3dfx monster2 12MB) I got seriously ripped off - ended up getting a matrox G200 as a replacement after that.

That Matrox was a good card! OG 2D windows acceralation.
