G200 BOB vs G400 BOB..same animal?

[RobertG]

I was just wondering if the G400 BOB is identical to the G200 BOB.
Not really a big deal, but with the snaky wires setup that I have, the less I have to play with connections the better. I would just as soon use the old BOB if there was no diff.

Thanks

Same thing with the exception that the one for the G400 doesn't have a spdif connector.

Thanks for the info.
Since I'm not using the spdif I think I'll give it a go.

Well my Marvel G400-TV does have a SPDIF connector. Maybe they supplied the early reviewers with a G200 BOB, oh sorry external conection box we aren't allowed to call it a BOB anymore

Just wanted to say that the switch from the G200 Marvel to the G400 Marvel was a snap.
It may have helped that I already had vidtools 1.51 and powerdesk 5.25 installed for the old card.

As for the "external connection box"....once I got into switching the card, I did wind up going with the new box thingie (I can call it that can't I?) instead of the one for the G200.

Thanks for the responses

Where have I been... We can't call it a BOB anymore. Why? Someone named BOB was offended or something? Can someone explain this one to me...

Matrox asked me to change all references to BOB in my review to the external connection box, not that I did
