[2Whyzzi]

Since the PD651 crash my system (every game from MAME32 to SoF), I'm going to check these out.

Anyone want to search for the mysterious G550(look in the W2K drivers as well)?


------------------
Abit BH6 r1.01
Celeron2-566 o/c to 850MHz+Slotket!!! 1.85v
256 Megs PC-133 Crucial CAS2
Matrox G400 SH OEM (not oc'd) rev=03h
Diamond Monster Sound MX400

Some G800 references still bouncing into the drivers....

If you want to see yourself, look into g200.drv and g400.drv !!

Best regards!

LMAO

I just had a peek into those drivers and found the following:

in Win2k setup.exe there are

- Matrox F800
- Matrox G800
- Matrox F450

and in W98 driver's G400.drv is a

- Matrox G800

So now they make WHQL drivers for Roland synthesizers, eh ?

HEH..

I just thought of something - Maybe thats why Matrox had to change the name to the G550 instead of the G800

Oh well, Check the driver revision (I can't cuz I ain't infront of that computer at the moment). Its the one from an older PD that screws up the 'stretch bitmap' in display properties when a game exits improperly and switches back to the desktop. yehy. I wonder how they got that one certified???

G800 ... isn't that Sony's not-yet-announced 28" monitor ?
