Good old G400

[xortam]

Good old G400 series. My Max looks like it is the last Matrox card I will own judging by the mistakes Matrox has made in recent years. It looks like it would be at least another year or so before they could come up with a contender even if they corrected their infrastructure and management. Too bad ... they were such a good company.

My G400 16SH is on the shelf together with Millennium PCI, waiting to be rebuilt into Linux box or server.

Utwig, if you're just planning to make a server, sell those two second hand; you can get a fair bit for used Matrox cards.

Well on whim thismorning I pulled my G400 out of its bag and gave the GPU a hard push, put it in the comp, and the thing works! Could the chip have been loose?

Could the chip have been loose?

NO, and don't do that. You will only weaken the BGA solder contacts
