Well, I shouldn't participate in the rumor mill, but I will...

I have seen (with my own eyes) a preliminary version of the 2630 card.
I will not say where (as I probably wasn't supposed to see it).  It
worked very, very well and seemed to be at least as solid as the 2620.
Thus, C-A probably will release this card in several months.

The (supposed) story is that C-A is also working on a "true" 3000
using a new custom chip set, but that it will be a good while before i
it is for sale.  The 2630 board will almost certainly be out much
sooner.  This info came from the fella with the 2630 (he's got the
card, so that says SOMETHING for his story!!).
