[H]ard|OCP does the features of the Parhelia.
One of the most exciting features beyond frames per second performance (which we never saw a benchmark) is "Surround Gaming". Basically a three monitor spread that opens up your field of vision (FOV) in first person shooters and games such as flight simulators. We did get to experience this playing Jedi Knight 2, Quake 3, and MS Flight Sim. It seems as if the technology should pretty much work with any Quake 3 engine game plus many others. I'm sure Matrox will be giving us an updated list soon.
