I think that the Marvel II is under $1,000, but I have no real idea.
Hmm, the only phone numbers that I have are for Matrox Electronics
engineering and support folk. I have lots of numbers for Matrox
Graphics, but that doesn't really help. I'll find out, probably on
Monday.
Accelerated-X Release 1.1 for FreeBSD is currently $99.50.
Existing users may upgrade for the cost of shipping & handling rounded
to whatever number Sales thinks is the right boundary (probably to
next highest $5 boundary, if I know Sales staff at all). So,
somewhere in the $5 to $15 region, I guess.
Final price has not been announced, I think. It'll be somewhere in
the range of current prices ($199 for commercial UNIX systems like
SCO, ISC, Solaris, etc and $99.50 for Linux and FreeBSD promos).
Extensions include:
Standard-PEX (PEX 5.1 with Gouraud shading, and lots of bug
fixes and performance enhancement) $100
Standard-XIE $100
Standard-XV with support for the Matrox Comet and Marvel II
only, some libs and applications, $150.
There may well be educational discounts and other stuff, before the
release is shipped... Announcements will be made on our
accelx-announce@xinside.com mailing list, and to various newsgroups
and mailing lists (hello freebsd-announce readers!).
Cheers, JeremyC.
