Has there been any benchmarks of a G400MAX on a K7? I see that the TNT2 Ultra is a lot fasther than V3, but is it faster than G400MAX?
Also, is the G400MAX out yet? I heard someting that it was delayed till September?

There are no trustworthy benchmarks of the K7 out yet since the NDA is still in effect until August 9 (I think), which means you have no way to compare to confirm that any results posted so far are valid.

The G400 MAX seems to be hot in demand, at the moment even Matrox doesn't have any to give to reviewers so it will take a little while longer for them to be on the market in significant numbers.

Once I have a K7 here (likely in mid-August) and a G400 MAX I will do a review. Actually I will do a review of all major chips on the K7 platform and then add K7 scores for all boards coming out afterwards.

Well, I`ve got a nVidia 128ZX right now. The biggest problem with it is the image-quality in 3D-games, escpecially Half-Life. It`s also a lot slower than V2 SLI i tried on it a while back. My system:
K6-2 350MHz(oc to 448MHz 112x4)
128MB RAM
So I don`t want to wait for the NV10 or Napalm. The ASUS TNT2 Ultra seems like a good choise, with Video Inn/out, LCD-out and 3D-glasses. The only problem is the price: 250$ here in Norway.
Do you know if you can get Video inn/ut on a G400?
