Matrox G1000 offered - including OS4 Support (Update)
The graphic card manufacturer Matrox appears to intend to introduce the new product "Matrox G1000" on the 14th of May. The first listings of the technical specifications are shown on many different hardware-oriented websites:

On ANN Ben Hermans (Hyperion) opened up speculation about whether OS4 drivers would be available for this card: "Oh, you can really trust in the existence of this card. The thing totally creams the Geforce 4. We saw it in action... yeah, OS4 will support this card. But not right away, modern architecture of this type requires Warp3D V5 ("Nova")... This card is lightyears ahead of the other stuff on the market. The only thing that even comes close to it is the P10 from 3DLabs. I'm just happy that I can finally let the cat out of the bag."
Update:
Ben Hermans, the project leader of OS4 found his ANN remarks on several different news forums (see below links); his Matrox G1000 "chatter" was quoted. Apparently Ben was the first to actually see this card. There was speculation that the remarks were really an attack on the nVidia-Imperium, but Hermans disagreed with that in a new ANN posting (that maintained the truthfulness of his earlier comments).
