Matrox G400, 2x or 4x AGP?
I used to be a g200 owner until a over a year ago when i bougth my vanilla G400, It was difficult to get the hands on one and impossible to get the hands o a G400 MAX (wich I wanted..). I recently bougth a new asus K7V to get use of the 4x wich matrox was supposed to support.
Today I saw i a magazine that 4x card have their slot in three pieces and the 2x was in two, If I don't remember wrong my card had two-pieced connectors.
Was the first cards of G400 only made for 2x or am I wrong?
I know that it's not supposed to be a big differance between 2x and 4x but it bothers me anyway!
BTW, Matrox did a he** of a job when they presented the G400, but it's sad that it'll take a whole year before you can get proper drivers for the card (just like g200), but pd5.52 and never seems very,very finished.
Now, they've made the same mistake again and falled behind (just like with g200
), I mean with gforce and so forth, I doubt that G450 will be even close the speed that a gforce gt2 have and that a pain in the a**!
The world need the G800 now and matrox too so they can SLAM all the other manufacturers on their fingers once again!!!
I'll be waiting for their masterpiece, but many others probably won't..
my machine:
Athlon 700
192 Mb RAM
removable seagate 6.5 GB
western 10.2 GB
G400 (oc @ 150/200 hey, I wanted a MAX!!)
DVD-rom
Logitech force wheel (pretty cool..)
Crap(sound)blaster PCI64
(I'm getting a aureal sq A3d card in few days, Woohoo!!)
- never owned any graphicscard but MATROX, and never will -
