I think you could could compete against matrox old product. They still sell a G550 at 140� ! I remember that many years ago i have heard that people did not think to much of the price when it's below $100. I think you can't compete against ATI7000 hard in terme of performance. But you could play the game with hudge image quality. People will pay for that. Many people prefer to buy DVD player because tv-out is too poor compare to the quality of the dvd player, even a very cheap one. With good 2D performance and nice signal quality, good colorimetry, maybe you could interrest some windows graphist, that need it and sell some more card. I see the graphic card with 500� card for the very high end, 200/250� for the main stream. 150� for the low end. And below poor perfomance or "not for game card". So if the price is too low. It could look like a bad quality card ! Like previously sais ~100$ is a good price. nicO _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
