Line 128:
Wasn't the Matrox Parhelia 512 the first to support HDR?
I think I can make sense of this: The Parhelia was the 1st (it was pretty much the only selling point, which they also branded as 40-bit and "Gigacolor". I believe it was available in April while several months later in August ATI announced what was later called Radeon 9000 series, released a few months later and included the above mentioned Radeon 9600 over a year later in Oct 2003. These cards are based on ATI's "Radeon R300 Architecture"; Speculation: someplace the Names "Radeon X300" and "Radeon R300" got mixed up, though this seems like a mute point since the Parhelia was the 1st, and many original articles still online highlight this feature prominently.
