Where is your G400 made? China here...

[SteveC]

Bit of a blast from the past!

I dunno if any country is better than another.. in theory, there is no difference. But I'd rather have an Irish or Canadian though...

Mine was made in that big place on the map above the USA, Canada.

Makes sense, I live in Portugal, Europe...

So what? I live in Holland, Europe, and I got a hand-made pig-commun... errr, made in China card.

I got a 16mb OEM, and it was made in China. I got it 3 months ago, but the BIOS version was ancient, so I assume that it was one of the first boards made. I also noticed that the BIOS was already flashed twice! It this a refurb? It might explain the OpenGL crashing problems that I've never been able to fix.

I hear that some of the different countries use a few slightly different components... what I wouldn't do to trade this for a newer board.

My G400MAX was assembled in Ireland ordered from Matrox Online store and delivered to MI, USA in a few days. But non 4x like my K7M

Hehe, Jorden, now you got me confused until I noticed that this thread is from August!

[paulcs]

All my G-series boards were either made in Canada or Ireland.

All the 4x boards I've seen on shelves were made in Thailand.

[DuRaNgO]

all the good stuff comes from Thailand, those are probably the ones getting smoked a while back

[jswcpm]

I have seen 4A boards from Thailand -puff, puff and Ireland - glub, glub (guiness stout). The real question is if boards assembled on Friday have problems - like cars in Detroit...
my 4A is from Ireland via the USA Matrox store - but it tests as a 217D not 2179 - sisoft says 16mg sdram but it has 8x4 meg sgram....and tests correct....hummmm

[klingen]

Sisoft Sandra tells you that you have 16mb if dualhead is enabled. At least it did for me.. Oh yes, my g400max is made in Ireland.

I have a MAX and a Vanilla, both made in Canada.

Wait till space7 finds out about the Thai sticks err, umm, I mean boards

Someone's been deep into the archives!

My G400MAX was made in Ireland, btw.. purchased from the Matrox store.
