Not content with letting NVIDIA (& ATi sorta) getting bad press of late, Matrox have decided to join the party. So you thought the Matrox Parhelia had partial DirectX 9 features (http://www.beyond3d.com/reviews/matrox/parhelia/index.php?p=2) support? Well, apparently it doesn't, as you see Matrox have removed all DirectX 9 feature references from the Parhelia specifications.

More info. on MURC (http://www.matroxusers.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=44959). You can view the check Parhelia's features & specs here (http://www.matrox.com/mga/products/parhelia/128mb.cfm), updated to not mention any DirectX 9 feature support. Props to Matrox for their late, & winning, entry to the How low can you go? competition. I'd be curious to know whether Matrox will refund users who purchased the Parhelia in part based on this partial DirectX 9 advertised support.
