"I have one question that I hope you can answer for me. The soon-to-be-released ATI RADEON 64MB DDR card supports Environment Mapped Bump Mapping (EMBM) and so does the Matrox G400 card. Will all Matrox G400 EMBM titles run flawlessly with EMBM enabld on the RADEON also? (or is your driver for the Radeon not ready for EMBM - no reviews have covered this issue yet!)."

Så svarede ATI endelig:

"The Radeon will support EMBM, and it should be possible to play the MATROX EMBM games with our card. However the games have not been extensively tested with the radeon, so I cannot confirm that the games will run flawlessly.

Kind regards, Heather Keenan European Technical Support ATI Technologies (Europe) Ltd."

Så umiddelbart ser det ud til, at alle Matrox EMBM-spil (såsom Expendable, Drakan, Descent3, BattleZone 2 osv) også virker med ATI Radeon (hvilket de jo burde, men i denne branche kan man sjældent være sikker)....men hvad er EMBM (Environment Mapped Bump Mapping?) og hvorfor er det så FANTASTISK VIGTIGT?
