Well that's a lot of card for the money, and all 
on a low profile card (nice since my backend is 
low-profile only)

I've learned to never, ever trust "coming soon" 
promises - unless it's a big bill or tax demand 
you'd prefer not to get. In particular, never 
ever trust "coming soon" promises when it 
involves computers !

In theory, as soon as it's supported by the Linux 
video subsystem then it should be supported by 
Myth.
