Now all we need is for Matrox to give us the other half...(drivers)...

[Chrono_Wanderer]

woohooO!!!! THANKS MAN!!!! been waiting for this for a year lol

[3dfx]

Oh it is cool I have noticed a definate increase in performance and FAA 16x appears to wrok better also

[K6-III]

Looking around in the Matrox forum, looks like the mods are saying that the next drivers are coming VERY Soon....

[Chrono_Wanderer]

hope that the DX9 drivers will fix stuff on P...

but sadly that obviously does not seem to be the case.

[K6-III]

Well, some improved OpenGL, pixel shader, and pro app performance sure wouldn't hurt, along with bugfixes and whatnot....

I am also on the Pinnacle forums, and have seen the first report of DX9 :

causing system restore to not work on XP
MSN scanning for virii on the fly not working and
OE getting very lethargic.

Any further experiences welcomed for reference.

The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see this message when trying to access this download, you might try the "Search for a Download" area on the Download Center home page

Seems its just been pulled as well

[Chrono_Wanderer]

LOL hahaha... guess we are the lucky ones sorry for u sleepyheads

The installer that downloads and installs DirectX still works, but unfortunately the license does not allow me to share it. :P

[The PIT]

I wonder if it's been pulled due too invalid install parameters or setup parameters can't remember which under xp.

The downloader is here

http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/2/3/22371837-c4dc-4f8b-af21-00c80d8b235c/dxwebsetup.exe

worked for me.
