Yeah, they changed the .inf to remove the Parhelia 8x references...Let us return to the moon, to stay!!! -
Are there any release notes yet on what has changed with these drivers from the last (WHQL certified) ones?

What is exactly Parhelia 8x?
A new gen of Matrox's GPU?
Why they removed the references?

P 8X, was just a newer revision of the P that was AGP 8X. To my knowledge, it was the same core, just AGP 8X compliant."I dream of a better world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned."Comment

Assuming it was ever in existence. Actually my best guesses is that it was just a revision that'd work in 8x mode. But of course if you think about it.... no one has even tapped out the 4x AGP bus, why would you need 8x?

Per some of VigilANT's last posts, the core is the same sans the bug fixes to eliminate banding and a few other hardware bugs. The main change is in the PCB, which is required to make it AGP8X compatible. (even the current Parhelia core is AGP8x capable, while the PCB is not)Let us return to the moon, to stay!!!Comment

Safe assumption. But if such a product existed, it would be just like Matrox to sit on it, confident (read: delusional) that they'd be able to sell their warehouse full of original P chips.Originally posted by leech

Driver changes
I was having problems with a server-side spam filter keeping my password mailings, so I couldn't post this earlier, but my understanding is that the refresh of this latest driver is to add a patch for nForce2 chipset users, like myself. The change makes nice things work, like basic AGP functionality, on the nForce2 chipset.
