AMD's Tech Tour is a special event which has been travelling around North American cities for the last few months. The purpose of the Tech Tour is to promote AMD products to resellers, and inform them of upcoming advancements & technologies - like the K8 for instance. The AMD Tech Tour also features a lot of information from vendor partners (video card, motherboard, etc.).... Matrox was on hand with their Parhelia-512 but it wasn't doing anything. Talking to the Matrox rep, I was told that they'd been having a few problems with their early beta videoboards, but was assured that Matrox was well on its way to solving them.
