Moi je prononce ça à la française

Translation: I pronounce that using my french accent

Well, where I reside in Western Canada, everyone pronounces it may-trocks. Never heard it pronounced a different way. Actually, on some of the U.S. hardware review site videos I have watched, they pronounce it may-trocks as well. I will be interested to see if this is incorrect.

Boy ... Guyver that thread is from August '99 ...

How did you dig THAT one out ?

I know it's supposed to be Mattrocks, but I (and most everyone I know) still pronounce it Maytrocks.
Either way, people know what yer talkin about

[Rags]

Of course Matt rocks!

If they want it pronounced Mattrocks, then proper King's English would require them to spell it with two T's - Mattrox. That's going to take some getting use to.

How Bout POC?

Piece Of Crap
Right now this card has ticked me off so bad
that I would be willing to trade it for a trident 2 mb, or maybe a cool vesa local bus card............HMMMMMMMMM........

Well thanks guys, I didn't expect to get so many replies. Sorry if it's been asked so many times before, next time I'll search the archives.
Anyway, I just bought a vanilla g400 16mb the other day, and I'm really happy with it.
I had a 3dfx velocity 100, it was fast and ugly at 800x600 and couldn't do 1024x768. Basically, it sucked!
BTW how do you tell what kind of ram you got?
I can't o\c my card past 135mhz without getting weird rainbows and snow.
Thanks again

tHUMp dA cHUMp, if you don't like why don't you just stop making those snarky comments and just freaking get rid of the card and get you something that will stop you from complaining. We are all willing to help but not interested in hearing you whine. This forum is here to help users and not stand this kind of behavior. Read the forum survival guide and let it be.

Don't take this post wrong, but messages like the one you posted are useless and does not contribute at all at the well being of this forum. Let's try to be productive rather than destructive for no reason.

Just in case somebody cares in Portugal we pronounce Mah-trocks. Not very far from how it actually was suposed to be, I´m surprised.
