They don't lie. They just talk about theoretical performance, not taking
into account things like memory bandwidth and other factors that influence
performance.

Not entirely true. NVIDIA just said in an interview that they will support
Apple heavily in the future, and NVIDIA have the fastest solution for Linux.
They don't release any source code, but that doesn't mean that they are
fully in Microsoft's camp..

The G450 IS that much worse than the GeForce3 (or GeForce 2 or ATI Radeon).
Will Matrox release a competitive solution soon? Maybe. But the G450 isn't,
at least not if you play any games.
