Not to insult your inteligence, but are you sure the card you have is indeed a MAX version? Physically check the card and make sure it has the onboard fan that is powered directly from the board, has dual head plugs, etc.

While I have had some issues with Matrox, I have never had (In the 7 Matrox cards I have owned, starting with the Mystique 220) the software mis-identify the hardware.

Where did you get this card from?

yea... maybe you should check the parts number of your board... and like what IM_Riktar said, MAX has a fan so maybe you can do that just to make usre you have a MAX...

yep, and to be even more accurate, you can e-mail me the serial number (3 letters, 5 numbers), which is usually on a yellow sticker on the board. I'll check it in the system and let you know...

send me a PM if you're interested.

Yo Soupy,
